I like the games in spite of the dumb stuff like this. I fully recognize a lot of it is really bad design.
It is very frustrating though. Setting aside the silly NPC quests, it’s so disappointing finding some cool looking item or spell only for it to be practically useless.
FromSoft is just min-maxing their game design build.
They put too many points into combat and level design that now all they can afford for story are some vague NPC ramblings and hints in item descriptions.

Yeah, it’s almost like real life. I honestly don’t want to be in real life mood when I’m playing a game.
