That's great. How many of them are here?
Less than 100 ... more like around 12,
Can we not make claims about the # of people who would like X? After using outside numbers (e.g., # of D&D players worldwide; this is where we are now), the argument will move on to using actual counts of forum members who have posted about X. But then the response to such a forum poster count will be "but the forum isn't representative of all BG3 players" and absolutely nothing is solved.
Speak for yourself and we can just skip over this issue. Rag, you personally don't think that Larian implementing 5e RAW won't be worth the effort. That's fine. The OP thinks otherwise. That's also fine. If you have an argument about why you do/don't think a mechanic is worth it, that's fine to post. But don't use "others agree with me" as your argument.
Edit: Ah, I was beaten to it by @PrivateRaccoon
