I would say we wonder, because for Larian to suddenly start trolling a -not so small section of their fan base- who genuinely want a happier ending for their companions and *doubling down* on the ending that so many of us ahve an issue with...would be such a massive 180 for them based on their entire history of game development that is would give them whiplash. like I get the frustration, but I would implore you to look into the work they put into divinity 2 after launch, so many similarities to bg3 its rather crazy. and they took player feedback seriously added content completely changed a characters ending because of the outcry for it. like...it literally makes Zero sense to think they are trolling us or doubling down THIS early into the release of the game. do i think their PR team is using some poor wording? oh hell yeah but id told off on just shitting on larian (while demanding that they do what you want?) until atleast 6 months after release.
