With one or two "slight" changes to please DOS fans they managed to screw up the entire class advantage system. The current mechanics don't resemble 5e implementation. You cannot pass judgement on a combat system if it hasn't been tried yet. As BG3 is supposed to be based off the 5e ruleset I don't think it is unreasonable to ask to...you know... implement it first.

And yet 5e was designed for tabletop and WotC has greenlighted the project, so not sure how you get to decide "The current mechanics don't resemble 5e implementation."

Being greenlit doesn't guarantee that the final product is good and/or representative. I can think of many movies/games (cough cough Star Wars in both regards) that were allowed to happen but were regarded as mediocre at best.

Also Larian has changed many rules. BG3 does not match 5e RAW. What's up for debate is whether Larian's changes make the game more or less fun.
