As has been said, SE are working on removing the 'filler' from these MSQ quests. It was necessary back in the day because there wasn't a lot of content in a six-month-old game, but it is redundant now. However - as has also been pointed out - the change is delayed due to Covid.

If it really bothers you that much .... don't do it? You'll miss out on some fantastic story, but if you absolutely can't bear to keep going, stop?

My point being, you've been told they're working on it. You've been told why there's a hold-up. You've even said you understand why it's there. So either push on through the nonsense that will soon disappear or don't, up to you.
