Sadly precisely why it will probably not change.
Its a silly ability designed with social media in mind. Its so much Joly fun. Great PR for Larian!
Does it make sense in D&D or Baldur's gate? Absolulity NOT! But who cares, its joly fun I guess...

At the very least Larian could fix the idiotically weird long arcing <flight?> animations. But I guess this is also done on purpose, to look silly by design? This game's 3D engine just boggles the mind. Its like they took the 8 year old DOS2 engine and build on top of that code; so the foundation is still this weird flimsy 3D of an engine that has TONS of no no rules. No flying, no day/night systems, no free camera...

With the boat load of cash BG3 will hopefully bring them, I really hope they design a brand new engine for DOS3...<sigh>

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..
