Will do the same with Endwalker.
This is like what my husband does in games. Skips all extra side content and focuses on the MSQ and dungeons. Here and in WoW he did that. I had to explain what is going on to him a lot. Frustrating but slowly realized that is what he enjoys.

Though I don't feel someone TLDR'ing the story has the same impact as seeing it yourself, if you enjoy it that way, go for it. Heh, reminds me when MSQ could be skipped and all the other players would tell a newbie to "skip and watch it in the Inn!"
