The systems are different. But I feel that if they wanted something different they probably would have implemented it sometime in the last 3 years. Not suddenly at launch. It feels abit out of character.
Also if it WAS pushed through like you suggest my guess would be on wotc beeing behind it rather then Larian.
Doesent make it less shitty but wotc are the license holder. They have alot of say on what happens with the product.
