It’s bad design in your opinion. Other people have differing opinions.
Yes well no shit Sherlook
My point was that we do grasp why you don’t like this design but do not agree.
From what I see in the responses I don't see understanding , Instead I get... Why would we want an empty map or a boring map , why would anyone creator make a boring map ? If the game is boring the developer fail , you can still make interessting maps full of life but with a more realistic scope on things !!
I think you need to realize that you're by and large dealing with people that enjoy the game as is (at least in this aspect). You're trying to argue that "no, what you like isn't the best way, Larian should have done 'y'." If you're going to try to make that kind of argument, you'll need to do a LOT better at convincing people.
Some people simply like the theme park style of map design. They don't want to have a realistic feeling, performance friendly map. they want to walk for 10 seconds, and have something interesting happen, or something interesting to see. You need to first understand why people like it as it is before you can attempt to convince them that they're "wrong", and you've not come remotely close in this thread.
