There aren't five threads complaining about spells, not since release anyway. Also, it's not the tools but the user. Not all spells are great but most are useful and at least good. There are also utility spells...if you don't see the value of non-combat spells that's your fault. And not all spells will be equally suitable to your class/subclass/party combination...these are all D&D 5e spells and they put the vast majority of the good spells in the game. At this point you're not even really complaining about BG3 but about D&D 5e, which is rather ridiculous.
