Maybe that outcome was a bad move to begin with, but that's different from being a hack. That's just making a poor decision.
And yet their new system failed completely as it not only makes for a worse story, reduces the quality of writing as the VA in the game still references the old situation of using tadpoles being bad and you losing something, it also does not achieve their goal as people still don't interact with tadpoles except in special evil runs or after being spoilered that despite all logic and dialogues in the game tadpoles are pure powerups with no downside, same as before.

A complete failure and not the only one. In general everything Larian did from the mid of EA onward, Shadowheart and Wyll changes, Halsin, the Tadpole power system, Emperor, ... made the game worse.
