Personally, I don't get frustrated so much by the presence of bugs themselves (though it can depend on their impact) as the longevity of some of them. A lot of the bugs were cute in Skyrim, but if you see the same or similar bug in the new game, it gets less cute.
But there could be a part of it that comes from "familiarity breeds contempt". BG3, while being a sequel to BG2, is new and fresh. Starfield feels like Skyrim in space. Bethesda has been a powerhouse for a long time, while Larian wasn't as popular going in, so expectations are higher for Bethesda, too.
Though I've gotta admit I haven't played any BG3 and not much Starfield, so this is a bit speculative.
