I don't believe the Wizard exploit is an oversight or low priority fix anymore. I think it's intentional. Just like Wizards learning spells from other classes spell lists and non-caster classes being able to cast spells from scrolls.
I applaud Larian for their passion and many great things about the game. But combat and class balance/identity is something they can't seem to get right because they are obsessively trying to make D&D more like DOS. They should just let D&D be D&D and it would be a better game for it.
