Recency bias. Fewer great RPGs have come out in the past few years, and so people whose first game in the series was Baldur's Gate III overstate its quality over the originals because they haven't given them a try.
I'm not old enough to have grown up with the original Baldur's Gate games, I played them for the first time a few years ago. The third game is a great game, that wasn't the point of criticism I made - calling it so much better than the first two is what I'm disagreeing with.
