Like others, I don't really understand why anyone would desire this.

D&D is a social activity, why would I want to remove the most core human component of a social activity. It'd be like someone who enjoys going to a sports bar with friends deciding they'd rather sit next to a vending machine.

Do you take issue with Baldur's Gate 3? Video games in general? Why not?

Baldur's Gate 3 (and other games of its nature) are narrative experiences crafted by writers to convey a story. I don't play BG3 when I want to play D&D, and when I do want to play something like BG3 I certainly wouldn't be interested in a machine generated amalgamation of other people's ideas with no thought or emotion behind it - that would be fundamentally pointless and a waste of my time - like reading Lorem Ipsum instead of a novel.
