Baldur’s Gate 3 ritual spells allow you to cast magic without using a skill slot, meaning you can wield your powers and speak with as many animals as you wish.

Ritual spells are different than in 5e. You're describing them nearly like they are in 5e except in 5e wizards can just use any ritual they have in their spell book. In 5e not every class can even use ritual spells as rituals. My paladin can use speak with animals as a ritual. They can't do that in 5e. You don't need the ritual caster feat. Any spell that's tagged as a ritual can be a ritual in BG3.

It would be nice to just be able to cast the rituals from the spell list rather than 'prepare' them for 2 seconds each time

Yes! Being able to cast anything from the spell book when not in combat would be nice.
