Forgive me @Killerrabbit but D&D isn't just a set of rules - it's an entire IP that includes people, places, Realms, and existing stories with 50 million current players. They may not have loved aspects of the 5e ruleset, but the ruleset isn't the IP - and if you really just wanted the ruleset you could even mostly replicate that with some clever renaming and some decent lawyers...but why would you want to? 5e isn't anything particularly special as a ruleset - frankly it's pretty basic.
The characters that Larian created now belong to WoTC to do with as they please. Larian CAN'T tell new stories with them without the ok from Hasbro.
So to say that they weren't excited to work with D&D - in your case - is a severe misunderstanding of what D&D actually is, and therefore bullshit.
Larian wanted the Lore...they were forced to use the ruleset.
