The 6 party members are clearly a part of BG according to me because it leads to many things :
- more character management (during fights, leveling, inventory...) - more differents party composition - more interactions/dialogs in the party
More is not a problem if player can choose the number of companions they want to play with. 4 is a problem for all those that want to play BG3 a little bit more like BG1/2 with 6 characters in their party.
