Hopefully they'll change that to conform to 5e soon. It's also a balance issue and it kind of takes the fun out of Clerics when Gale has all your stuff and more.
Another thing.. Clerics of Selûne can cast Bless from a scroll (which I am assuming is in prayer form) created by Clerics of Shar. That doesn't really match the concept of channeled magic. The whole idea of Divine spell scrolls is rather shaky as it is the Cleric herself who is the conduit for the god's power, not a piece of paper. I think if I was DM'ing I wouldn't allow divine spells on scrolls, or would make them faith specific.
Then there are Cleric spells that make you wonder why they are only available to Divine spellcasters. Create Water? An elemental spell which is the Wizard's bread and butter more than anyone else but Wizards can't do it at all. It's especially apparent now in BG3 where you need it to combo with Lightning Spells. Would be cool to have two Wizards comboing off of eachother, but you need a Cleric for that. Probably that's why they created Rain Dancer. That would actually be a welcome homebrew spell, or just add it to the Arcane list. No one would get mad.
