I must stop picking up those pretty useless foods giving a paltry 3 or 5 health.
Not sure what the Bethesda devs were thinking of here.

I think people connect to these companions in different ways.
I mentioned earlier in this thread that the romance side of things in Starfield is oddly tame and that Cyberpunk IMO is the gold standard for how to write good companions *however* other than a few specific missions, the companions in Cyberpunk are essentially set-dressing and once you've completed their quests they go and sit somewhere for the rest of the game and play no active part unless the story requires it.
Bethesda's companions are (typically) always with you (assuming you want them to be) and a lot of the attachment (or not) that players will feel towards them will come about through spontaneous (often ridiculous) unscripted events that occur during play.
I will say the game does a really good job of delivering contextual exposition through the characters that feels spontaneous and typically doesn't repeat (they do have canned responses though obviously).
Also, the two questlines I've played that are companion specific (Sarah's and Andreja's) are quite poignant - but I do get that someone's ability to take those stories seriously can be greatly impacted by an animation system that strains to get the character facing in the right direction.
*Edit* and on that last part, to elaborate a little - for whatever reason, characters are rarely manipulated by the engine in Starfield - the only time you'll see it is when a companion gets left behind or stuck - then the engine will reposition them (hopefully) free of obstacles. Otherwise they'll just wander around using their own rules and logic to navigate the world and display various behaviours such as sitting and tinkering until the player talks to them or moves out of range or combat begins.
When you converse with them, unlike many games you don't get a 'cut-scene' where something is constructed specifically for the conversation, instead the camera gets close in on them wherever they are at that moment and they *attempt* as best they can to turn to face it - often this just doesn't work because they're colliding with something that prevents them from doing so - hence some very awkward dialogue scenes.
It's bonkers - and quite frankly I find it endearing but yeah, polished it ain't.

I bet you've installed the Sarah round butt mod too, you freak!
Well **** me @mrk. My monitor decided it wanted to do a panel refresh, so I thought I would take a break and go tesco and pick up some supplies. Come back, pack stuff away and do a few other chores, come back to pc to see it is still at it!
Hopefully will be done soon. Only my second refresh in over a year.

It's only a 55 minute panel refresh, just go take a poo or something to pass the time
If you spend time on nexus mods and check the popular mods sections of games, things will make youe eyebrows to go o_^I did not even know that existed. Now not sure what that says about you that you knew
Was just repeating what teh google news feed on Google Now was saying!Redguard is lower

He's done it again! Round butt mod, naked anime cred sticks.
True though, nexus is littered with that stuff. I generally just go to popular 30 days.

Outcast did exactly that and it was very cool.

Not sure why I put in a 'Captain's Quarters' on my ship, people just randomly invite their selves in**** off.
I found the module quiet useful ! Sure, my crew member went and slept in the bed right away but that's alright. What I liked with it was you got a chest on the ship, where one can bump food and weapons, without having use the actually ship storage !
If you not concerned about the loot there is a place where you can go, but placing it in a spoiler incase:
Join Vanguard and you can use their Piloting Simulator, from what I read you can get the ship kills that way and don't have to fly around randomly and find them. No loot though that way !

I'd like to say this is function over form but it flies like **** too
You'll have to spend more skill points to build bigger ships something like this! Cost allots of money
I just finished my other new custom ship

You welcome and no clue, I made the ship yesterday and have not yet used the crafting stations I added too. I'm about to log in and can check once back on the ship. I am trying to find the ship I "found" some time ago and is now mine, but can't remember where it is parked. At least I know which planet it is on though !
