Larian knows Baldur's Gate 3's D&D combat is super complicated: "We used to joke you basically need a tutorial for every class" (www.gamesradar.com)

"So then it's onboarding people, teaching them how to play D&D, which is really complex"

I would assume that it helps casual players by removing confusing options ans reducing choice paralysis. There's already a lot to choose and think about with one class - multi classing makes it even more complex and scary.

I'm a casual in that I play games not to prove anything to anyone, but to escape to another world for a couple hours. It makes no sense that it's not even an OPTION.

That's fair, but I think they refer to the more casual people who want to play a game without having to think so much, and that was a step in that direction. Obviously, it does not fit into your needs.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a mod that allows multiclassing even in Explorer.
