I know that there are countless amount of movies/games soundtracks with leitmotifs, but other than that I’ve never found albums with leitmotifs.

How is it not?. If anything, DT’s instrumental use of leitmotif for composition is more classical and predates the crude and vulgar current interpretation of leitmotif=“this character is on screen”.
I don’t think any of DTs recurring musical phrases are “associated with a particular person, place, or idea.” Like there has to be more to it than recurrence to be considered a leitmotif. Recurrence in music happened a lot for various reasons before the idea of leitmotifs, so if you use the term generically to that extent it loses any meaning.
OK.
