The context is important. When this sort of thing would be done for a game that's like... well, for the sake of example let's say WotR (which I hear is in a very healthy state regarding many game aspects), it would read differently. A show and some goofy fun would be great then, if it accompanied the game nicely trudging along the development. I did like all this stuff before the state of the game dawned on me and I grew bitter.

Meanwhile, BG3 has a myriad of problems that went completely unaddressed and not even acknowledged for more than half a year. Last patch was months ago. Communication from Larian is at best extremely sparse and for the most part just not there. Mind you, in an EA that was supposed to be important in terms of player feedback. In this context, a great show about nothing or something like "one whole new class, some bugfixes and two minor QoL improvements" feels like rubbing salt in the wounds. It's kind of like if you took a hungry man to a theater instead of feeding him. Had he not be starving, he'd enjoy a good show. But otherwise he'd understandably be annoyed about your priorities and lack of understanding.

To further this analogy, if we are starving men taken to the theater we will probably try to engorge ourselves on popcorn an soda, filling up as much as we can. But that ultimately is just snacks, and we still really want a proper meal. We will end up still hungry and ultimately annoyed.
Best case scenario for PFH3 is that it turns out to be a cinema cafe so we get a show and meal.
