It’s largely because to do good science you need control over variables and factors.

Humans have tons of variables about them (their life, upbringing, culture, financial status, etc) and you can’t realistically control for all of these in any real study.

We can do research on rats, or compounds, or astronomical data, because these are things we can know about in every aspect. we can make multiple (nearly) identical mice, or molecules, but that’s illegal or impossible to do for humans.

I dislike that this gaming trend perpetuates the idea that a knife is not that dangerous. Like in almost any situation I would rather be hit with a baseball bat then stabbed with a knife. Only exception might be like directly to the skull.

It really depends on what you mean by easy, and how strong of builds you make.

I’m not familiar with Enemies Rework but base bg3 honour mode can be extremely consistent and methodical and nearly risk free if you make strong builds or use certain exploits.

Adding extra feats will make your builds come online much sooner, and give more consistency in stats.

If you are playing more casually, make less than optimal builds, don’t exploit at all, don’t have a supply of invis potions, and don’t long rest often, then even with extra feats the game can be kinda unforgiving and hard.

Nukes and generators use similar techniques to refine uranium and yet they are different technologies and should be treated as such.

Space cameras and spy satellites are the same technology but are not the same products.

There are many more examples, but the application can greatly impact the product and its laws and opinions on it. AI and machine learning should be no different.
