Considering the mess that is Halsin and his "polyamory/polygamy" writing... I almost could be convinced it's better they did. For what it's worth, like you I think there would've been merit in Wyll's prior story if it was executed well - but, I like what we have now too, for the most part. Maybe he's more tame than some of the other companion stories, but meh.

At this point, though, I feel like the only companion who was written exceedingly well and tastefully was Astarion. Nearly every other companion - especially of the 'popular' ones - has a 30~60+ page thread about their various writing or ending issues, many of which feel like there would need to be massive rewrites and redoes in order to fix. Which, even for a Definitive Edition, just doesn't sound feasible at this point.
