I think BGT requires ToB because it was from the start intended as the Baldur's Gate Trilogy (BG, SoA, and ToB--I know ToB is an expansion, but it does conclude the story)

The whole purpose behind BGT was to allow you to play from a 0 exp character all the way to the conclusion of ToB. With that goal in mind, it's much easier to code for SoA+ToB as a unit rather then first for SoA, and then try to add ToB support later.
