I've been an advocate against "convenience at expenses of challenge or immersion" in games for years, so I'm typically not exactly fond of most features that plague this genre these days (i.e. getting rid of any form or resource management, making fast travel exceedingly convenient to use, etc)...

but still, claiming that the game "would play itself" if the inventory isn't a pain in the ass to sort and utilize on a moment-to-moment basis has to be one of the weirdest things I've read in a while.

Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN
