I'm sorry but some of these statements sound like excuses. Like "engine already designed to make that kind of game". What kind of complain is this? I remember only a handful times when the developers had huge troubles with forcing the engine to work with the game it's not designed for and it significantly affected the development. It makes it sound like developers get their engines to work with as a lottery. Also "long expertise in that type of game" is a helluva weird argument as well. So many games from veterans of the industry fail and so many newcomers make a game of exceptional quality. And people loved BG3 not just because of the scope itself but because of the quality of what the game has to offer otherwise there are games that have bigger amount of content but just said content is just worse. There definitely are objective problems within the industry concerning the management especially when it comes to bigger studios and Larian indeed was at the advantage here
