Granted, I'm no expert on the rules but I just don't see what they don't like about the game.
For me I don't like D&D mechanics generally, and 5e in particular, so this is not something specific to BG3. I find 5e D&D to be heavily watered down and simplified from 3.5e D&D. For others this is a good "streamlining" of the mechanics, but for me I much prefer the complexity of 3.5e rules; the more complex the more I like it. However, all D&D mechanics regardless of edition rely heavily on the randomness of dice to an extent that is too much for me. A little randomness at the margins is okay, and makes a game more fun. But at its core, I want mechanics where my choices and decisions as the player with respect to character building are what determine outcomes.
