I like 5E well enough. Certainly enough to play a 5E game.
But I'm not sure I care much for OneD&D, or whatever the clown college at WOTC want to call the 5E replacement. It's not like anyone at WOTC give a shit about the players so it feels very reasonable to me that I return the favor and don't give a shit right back at them.
And I'm not blaming Larian for making a change. But I am a bit grumpy that Larian makes this kind of change and then completely refrain from commenting on it. This was supposed to be a 5E experience, not a OneD&D golden shower. If you advertise with hamburgers, and I order a hamburger, then I want a hamburger or I want to be told that I can't have one. What I don't want is someone showing up with avocado on toast and pretending that's what I ordered.
For all we know Larian wasn’t permitted to comment on it because WoTC wants to control how all the news comes out. Then again I’ve been saying the changes were mandated by WoTC ever since I first heard about them.
