Back when the game released, one of the biggest complaints about the game was that is was RTwP and not just turned based. The majority of the community back then begged for turn based.
No they did not. RTwP was a new idea, and it was immensely popular at that time precisely because of how well it worked in BG1.

Again, wrong. The only reason the TB mechanic exists is because in any tabletop game you have no other alternative than for players to go in turns. It is a LIMITATION of TT gaming. That limitation does not exist in the computer medium, and so computer games can (and should) do away with that limitation. It is the logical thing to do.
