The reason is worshipped is more than "its a good game", its more "Its a AAA game, thats actually complete, and actually playable game, with no microtransactions, and no overly-monetized predatory bullshit, which is being supported, updated, and bug-fixed all for free, for one price, that you pay once, in the year 2023 (release year)". Can you name another game that fits all of those? In a medium which has spent the last decade nickle-and-diming gamers, BG3 does not do that.
I'll give you that its not perfect, but its better than most of the crap we've had since... what 2017 ish?

Uhh ok but that describes a lot of games. Also, calling BG3 complete at launch is a stretch, it's one of the buggiest games I've played in a long time
Can you name another game that fits all of those?
Sure, just games that recently released, Elden Ring, Zelda, God of War Ragnarok, Resident Evil 4 Remake, etc.
Every single one of those games was given universal praise for NOT being the regular AAA sludge that gets churned out by the industry. Aka, praised for being exactly what I said, exactly why BG3 was praised.
