You all act, as if the dating sim feeling in crpgs is new. Look at the topics in the BioWare forums and you see the same thing, thirsty people being thirsty. I do agree though, that there is too much catering for those people. Astarions kiss scene is broken -omg, we have to bring out a hotfix asap. Meanwhile there are so many plotholes to deal with and technical problems to solve ( I heard, that Xbox player have massive problems with saves). But if you go into the feedback section on Larian Discord, most suggestions are dealing with romance stuff: more kisses, more hugs, different romance ending with Halsin/Astarion/Karlach/Whoever, more sex scenes... It never ends. People even put in their personal fetishes in some suggestions and I think, it is time to step away from the thirst crowd and deal with the story stuff - there are great suggestions here and in other threads and it is worth to take a look at them imo.
