What's the point of magic items if they are everywhere? They need to a be a little rare to be fun to find, IMO.
The original Baldur's Gate made it special to even get your hands on a +1 sword before reaching the city and looting one was much more rewarding than just buying one at Feldepost's inn.
With BG3, the characters are low level, hanging out in the middle of nowhere after a crash, and they can already get their hands on dozens of magic items, including multiple instances of many weapon types. It's almost too much already if you ask me.
