Baldur's Gate 3 won so many awards that it started to "affect development", forcing Larian to send "rotating teams" of devs to ceremonies (www.gamesradar.com)

Freedom in games adds more surface for bugs.

Many of us have come to accept bugs in games that give you a lot of freedom. Sometimes they're even funny.

The real reason they get so many awards is that they actually put out a game that's fun, doesn't hound you to buy microtransactions, has good replayability, etc.

When it was released last year, there were articles saying "you shouldn't hold other RPGs to this standard because (insert whiny reason here)" because other devs were legitimately getting scared they'd have to start putting out better games...
