But are you going to replay the game entirely just to see those changes? The bulk of the game will almost certainly play the same. Compare that to The Witcher 2, where depending on who you sided with Humans or Elves, you saw entirely different content. I did all companion sub-quests and almost all sub-quests - I doubt I'd have a radically different experience on another playthrough. I think Larian's "thousands of ending"s (or whatever huge figure they trotted out), was a silly thing to say which then opened them up to criticism. And related to endings/paths - as so many have pointed out, some major things, like using/not using the tadpole, had barely any impact at the end. For such a critical element, that is really unforgivable.
