I'm sorry to say that, but the original post claim is really an overkill exageration. Whatever if you like or not the possibility to respec, you don't have to use this option if you don't like the system!
But not everyone is a mega expert of absolutely all the rules in D&D 5th edition + know all the differences from BG3 to D&D + we are currently testing 6th edition and we could mix / forget / confuse rules
I'm very happy that it's easy to respec, it's easy to make mistakes when we create a character, even when we are familiar with the rules and read some guides (not all of them say the same thing!) obviously it's really wasting my game when I do mistakes on my main character, with whom I will play for 40...60... 80 hours. Who like to be forced to continue with a subpar character? That would waste my experience.
Also, it can be interesting to test different builds. Obviously no one will change 40 or 100 times the build of their character during the game. That was a smart move from Larian obviously. Not everyone is top high level Dungeon Master who knows everything all the time, amongst the players.
