Your mistake is to take Larian style combat seriously. It's supposed to be a meme. Balancing stuff makes it harder for streamers to entertain with cheap laughs and attract a larger audience.
Many things implemented by Larian is capable of breaking the game. For instance a Tiefling Thief using Flame Blade and Circlet of Fire. That's 9d6 off-hand damage probably every turn from low levels. It's fun yo! That is...unless you get shoved to death before you get a chance to start swinging of course!
Seriously though, how anti-climatic isn't that BG3 ship combat compared to the one in DOS2.
