This is just Larian not caring the way they cared about Jaheira and Minsc.

I think I disagree with that they don't matter at all, think about it, Shadowheart's whole story is based on Viconia's out of character actions, and if Sarevok's out of character actions didn't exist, Orin won't be the way she was. But I get what you mean, as villains these two characters are totally replacable, which means they're lackluster and poorly written. Replacing them is one of my points, if you're not going to pay respect to old characters, or don't have the patience to even understand them, don't add them into the game at all.
