I mostly agree and have been defending it from haters recently myself. But there is one thing in the way of "You can then jump to each dot on the way, look around, scan planets, get hailed by ships, visit places your scans found, etc on your way to your mission... I’m of the opinion thats what Bethesda wants you to do."
Starfield is a "looter shooter RPG" like other Bethesda games. And like other Bethesda games, your time off-leash is limited by your inventory size, with valuable items dropping that take up to 10% of that or more a piece. Awkwardly, ship storage is just not that incredible, until/unless you either go all-in on outposts or all-in on megaships. Which means you do end up having to stop and go to a city often, probably the one with your next mission goal.
It's not a huge gripe, but I think Bethesda has always used inventory to drive people back to populated centers to pick up quests.
