The fact that small studio Larian is being compared to the other juggernauts is a win on its own. They blew sales expectations out of the water and definitely made money.
I haven't played the game myself and not a "fanboy", but BG3 was objectively successful by every metric, like it or not.

That's one of the worst things to happen to gaming, because it gives every studio -- and all the woketards -- all the ammo they need to keep pushing woke nonsense.
Normies will also use BG3 as another notch on the Overton Window further moving Left to say "Well, BG3 was a good game. Who cares about the woke stuff? You probably don't even know what woke means!"
I've seen plenty of coomer planktards on the normie YouTube videos defending BG3 as a "great game", and anyone pointing out the woke stuff is usually shouted down by the plankies.
Expect many other studios to follow suit in adding equal amounts of woke-stuff and following Larian's footsteps in adding a lot of (routed) "choices" so people will continue to defend the woke RPGs as they have with BG3.
I dont think many will follow, they would need to be able to deliver a similar quality game where you can solve some quests in 5+ different ways. And at least Larian put some attractive women in their game. Doubt the others would do that. And it has the D&D license. A generic game without all that lore and races/classes wouldnt draw many in.
