It's especially hard when the main quest is actually good and many of the smaller quests are relatively boring "go there and kill everyone"-quests.
But for some reason we still do them.
Speak for yourself! I definitely ignore many quests that have practically no story when there's fleshed-out main story quests to do and I don't desperately need the loot or experience points, especially when combat is not the game's strong suit.
I'm playing Cyberpunk 2077 right now, I'm about two thirds into the main story while pretty much ignoring the fixer quests (which tend to be generic) - the combat system of the game doesn't really do it for me, and the main story is really fun.
I tend to usually get distracted by side quests for some reason, but yeah each person plays their own way. The main thing is that you have fun, and that's the most important thing.
