Commitment is so last millenium. Today entitlement rules and getting everything you want, whenever you want with no tradeoffs or consequences.

Many design decisions both in BG3 and D&D 5E can be traced to that.

That is sadly very true and the new DnD ruleset sounds awful. I mean I play a DnD First edition campaign atm and that is very limiting and unforgiving, but it makes you think of new strategies to come out of a fight with your whopping 4 hitpoints. I think 5 e gave a lot of freedom of choice without taking away the challenge, but it sounds, as if it will get watered down with the next edition, which brings me back to agreeing your statement.
