I fully agree with Niara on the matter, but I guess it won't ever be solved in Larian's games because of multiplayer.

How is that handled in BG1/2 EE ? I guess the host is the bhaalspaw while others players are just blank companions ?
Not sure how it works in other multiplayer cRPG but I have to admit that I would not like to play a "blank" follower for dozens of hours.

That said I'm a solo player and as it has been said countless time : all other cRPG I can think of did a way better job at making my character well grounded in the story and the world.
The leadership issue is also a lot more noticeable than it could because most companions backstories are over the top right at the beginning. If Tav is going to be less blank at some point, we should already have clues about it all along act 1 so that its branching out into the story to be equally engaging.
