Just speculating, but I wonder how much it has to do with the origin system. If BG3 is anything like D:OS2 then race and class reactivity might have been written with particular character in mind - have wizard lines fit Gale, have Warlock lines fit Wyll, make barbarian/halfling lines fit whoever will be their origin. After all origins will most likely use more or less the same conversation system and race/class options will be easiest way to characterise them + some unique options no doubt.
