Here's the bottom line. The very tiny group of you here in this forum who love Larian's games as the greatest ever made and who love to hate on certain other big RPG studios and their games are not even close to being representative of the millions of self-identifying RPG fans out there.
I think you are building a strawman there. No one pretended that Larian games or even CRPG will become the single and universal standard for gamers. At the very least I am happy that BG3 is bringing those kind of games at the same level than other popular RPGs instead of trying to reproduce deprecated or convoluted systems for a niche.
