Not considering a creature sapient is a very easy way to alleviate one conscience when committing genocide on them.
On earlier editions monster where just evil monster there to be killed.
Now for some people saying Orcs, Goblins or Drow are inherently evil is heresy and every race can be anything, sapient and any alignment between good and evil.
At the end of the day is all about mental gymnastics and whether you as a player can detach reality from fiction.
Goblins on BG3 are quite obviously sapient and evil, that's pretty much the only fact I can give xD
