I think Larian understands that we are all of us cats, and so we will play with some shiny new toy for a few months and then abandon it.
So they give us Druids now, we'll play with those and larian get the info they need. Then we might get Paladin, or Half-orc to spark new interest, and so and so on.
If they just finished the game already, we'd play it, get bored, and drop it. No usefulness for Larian in that path.
If we were more like dogs and could be relied on to chase the ball every single time it'd be different, but we are all just cats, making our masters work hard for it
