On the one hand, it sucks. No other way to say it.
On the other hand, I have a hard time being mad at them. They have basically infinite good will from gamers right now. And unless they burn another half decade on the next BG game, it will almost certainly be a disappointment. Much safer to move to something else with lower expectations, then if it flops, you can always come back and "save" the BG series.

Also possible they didn't like whatever the offer looked like for BG4 from WOTC. If they make DOS3, which they own the full IP for, and self publish again with similar success to BG3, they would make way more money without having to pay WOTC for the DnD IP.

I'm with you. With the state of affairs at Hasbro/WOTC, what used to be a license to print money (a D&D license) may be too restrictive for any developer going forward.
I say this as a pen and paper D&D veteran of many decades. I played many of the early/mid era games, including the OG Baldur's Gate, and D&D "adjacent" things like Bard's Tale, Wizardry and the like. Frankly, TES was more "D&D" than many licensed products.
Competition and expansion outside the confines of the IP have improved the genre, especially in the current D&D environment.
