Yes, I can grasp what you mean.

It is a role-playing on a different level, and with that it has its own merits and shortcomings.

Baldurs Gate 3 is a role play on a lower, more character centric, level which limits the freedom of the player but allows for the game to have a tighter, more interconnected storytelling.

Starfield is a role play on a higher, more player centric, level which allows for way more personal freedom of the player at the costs of having a story with pieces flying loose through the air, so to speak.

The venn diagram of people who like both of those types will most likely don't have a huge overlap.

Neither of those games are bad, they are just fundamentally different.
