It is merely speculative that they are related to EA.

They are definately EA related, since Larian actively tied the changes to the requests made in their community update posts. For example, this is a Patch 9 EA phrasing:

Quote
Patch #9 is our final major update before our August 2023 launch as we put the finishing touches on BG3. This community-inspired update is a direct response to your feedback, and brings some of your most requested features and changes to Baldur’s Gate 3. We’ve boosted the level cap, revamped our Reactions System.

I don't see where it is proven that these changes could only have been made due to EA.

That they WERE a response to feedback doesn't mean that they REQUIRED the feedback to be made.

Which is again, simply reaffirming that we have only evidence of EA directly being a positive impact on the act that is itself tested.

Since they would not be gathering any "Big data" on implementations that are in other acts since EA only extended as far as the single Act.
