Shove seems to be a Larian PR gimmick since day one of EA.
The first thing they really want to show off in this games combat gameplay is of course, shove.
It will probably never change. Its the BG3 sacred golden goose egg.

Its a fun gimmick in the players toolbox. Feels like a cheat code. Not so fun when all enemies uses it.
I have a feeling that Larian is going out of their way to have an achievement that reads:

"beat the game only using the shove ability".

THAT is a problem. It forces areas/world to be designed to make it so every combat is beatable with just shove.
My first mod for the game will probably be shove related. But thats a bandaid on a poorly though out ability that affects the whole game. "Editing" shove won't change the way the world is designed around it.

It just reminded me of the bowl of goat's milk that old Winthrop used to put outside his door every evening for the dust demons. He said the dust demons could never resist goat's milk, and that they would always drink themselves into a stupor and then be too tired to enter his room..
