Because, in my personal opinion, D:OS2 isn't very good, and more importantly, I didn't enjoy playing it. So as a Baldur's Gate fan, and Baldur's Gate legacy fan (later bioware games, Obsidian etc) I don't want to see that stuff in BG3. Just as I don't like Bethesda Fallouts, while being a Fallout fan (1&2&New Vegas).

I can understand as to why you're disappointed with the choice of developer then but:
1) That ship has sailed
2) It has nothing to do with the sequel name being justified or not

Larian has their style, obviously not everyone will like that style. You can't ask a dev to throw their identity out of the window though.
