Sure, but it's equally within our rights as players to say that rule X - 5e RAW or Larian homebrewed - is dumb. Especially in this EA process of BG3 where Larian has specifically asked for feedback.
Absolutely, I'm making the point that Larian has said-and been told by the WoTC themselves-they don't need to follow the RAW if they don't want to.
