Just speaking in regards to the comments here on the forums over the past years, I tend to agree much of the negativity is patently overblown. Going back to early access there were people essentially cheerleading for the game to fail.
In general, if there are things someone doesn't like about the game, that's fair. But it's absolutely disingenuous to pretend like all the great things that captured the minds and imaginations of innumerable people don't exist.
"The beard clips!" "What is this toilet chain?!?!" "The plot is atrocious! The writers are awful!!!" <--I find a lot of that commentary hard to take seriously.
Your point is more or less correct, except that I'd like to point out that the toilet chain is legitimately awful. Hopefully the legions of game devs out there preparing to copy BG3 don't copy that.
