I frankly don't have the time to pull up every instance where the Larian CEO indicated he didn't like DnD but, from memory:
- he doesn't like that you miss so often in DnD (in the DOS system missing was rare but enemies had a huge store of hitpoints)
- he doesn't like that character level and spell level are different
- he never played DnD and preferred some other RPG whose name I forgot
- didn't care for the BG series and was more into final fantasy
- the infamous "we produced a 5e version of the game but decided it wasn't very fun"
And, of course, we have the CEO's recent statement. Larian wanted to things in combat that would violate DnD rules.
I don't like True Strike, but that doesn't mean I don't like DnD. There are numerous things I would change about DnD, but that doesn't mean that I don't like DnD.
Larian has also mentioned a passion for DnD several times.
Bottom line, at least for me, they did a great job with the game. And to reinforce my point: there's a lot about BG3 I don't like. But that doesn't mean I don't like the game.
