The Witcher 3 is considered as an open world game but there are more than 1 "hub/area" in The Witcher 3.

Just like TW3, BG3 is closer to an open world than a game with hubs like BG1/2 despite the fact that many basic things does not look real in this world - distance, time, scale of some area ("forest", "swamp"), ...

No matter the fancies you wants for the story it won't ever be coherent with such a theme park map.
This map is only designed to enhance the gameplay at the expense of the story and the immersion into the world.

I guess it's totally intended even if I personnaly don't like it at all.
