I hear you. There was a lot of that going on in Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2, which I find ridiculous in a Lego game. It's a Lego game, for crying out loud, I should just be able to smash things or build them, not have to collect a bunch of crap and then bring it back.
One of my more recent favorite games (Yonder) had some of that going on, too, but luckily most of the errand running fetch quests weren't required to move the story along, and the few that were, you could find what you needed nearby.
