Last time I love a game as much as I love BG3 was 20 years ago but don't tell BG1 and 2 were worse at everything because you are objectively wrong
I am sorry because I'm gonna say exactly that. BG1/2 is objectively worse than BG3 on everything else except for story which are highly subjective.
Your complain is absolutely valid regarding BG3 misc design, but if you notice, those are personal gripes. It's not objective flaws such as "Act 3 is a buggy mess".
Here are objective criticism and flaws in both BG1/2:
1. What's the difference in dialogue between 1 Charisma character and 18 charisma character? 99% identical. 2. What's the difference between Cleric Player and Rogue player within the dialogue/options which can alter their experience (outside of combat)? None. 3. Are there are more fingers in my hands than there are dialogue checks in BG1/2? Yes.
Does this mean BG1/2 is worse game ever exist and their fans should be dragged up to be executed in a guillotine? Absolutely not.
Nothing will ever change the fact that BG2 *was* a masterpiece and RPG to this day has evolved *from* it. But please put BG2 to your (in general, not specific individual) warped standard which you has put BG3 in. You'll find the same flaws and bad design and likely worse.
