I thought "savescum" as a term, used in a derogatory way to shame someone for loading a saved game (for whatever reason...something goes wrong or curiosity about something, whatever...doesn't matter at all), in a single player RPG, was peak idiocy in gaming. Something that has been done since SP RPGs exist, and save/load function exists.
But then I saw this and the arguments for nerfing/removal of something that no one is, in no way whatsoever, forced to use. Something set aside in the camp area that you do not have to look at either, in no way in your face.
This is a YOU problem. Not Larians, not the games, not any other players. Only YOURS.
It is absolutely, above and beyond, the point of "don't like it - don't use it".
Wanting...no, DEMANDING, something changed/nerfed/removed because YOU don't like it, and everyone has to deal with it, is absolutely a very toxic way to ruin the game and create a very sour experience for everyone involved, both players and devs.
Loading a save is not cheating, respec-ing characters is not cheating. It's a feature you can opt to use or not.
All the arguments "but roleplay" make zero sense. You're not using it, someone else on their playthrough is. Their playthrough has NOTHING TO DO with yours, your roleplay or whatever. Where is the problem?
Play your game the way you want to, leave others to play theirs as they want to and stop trying to enforce your POV on everyone.
