I strongly disagree.
We already have 68165348646516546846846818964 pseudo RPG's all about gear farming and cooldown managing and we don't need another one. Nor when you LIE to the fanbase promising D&D and delivering wow magical system instead of vancian, zero skill checks, lv 6 liches and so on.
I don’t disagree with your points - but even so I thoroughly enjoyed the game - to me it was engaging, I played it from start to finish & have 150+ hours in it. Writing was great & to me it had a huge D&D feel to it which is what I look for most in aD&D title.
Probably why I’m enjoying BG3 so much. I want as many of the rules to be implemented as makes sense but if they are not all there or perfect but the game is enjoyable - that’s my preference.
Ps - the cool down system could have been ok without all the items giving bonuses to it & the ability to purchase highly powerful magic items from vendors - I do dislike that, totally agree about the lich too.
