Synthetic man did a review where he went on several shooting sprees. Just about anyone you would like to shoot is somehow "essential" and thus unkillable.
It's one major difference between Fallout 3 and New Vegas as well. The latter only has one unkillable main quest character (Yes Man) in the entire game, and that's because he's designed to be the catch-all fallback option if you fuck up every other questline.

I mean, it is a Bethesda game. You haven't been able to really do that since Morrowind.

Skyrim fallout4 you maybe had 10 npcs which are immortal, in Starfield its almost every named npc.
I can't compare to Starfield, having not played it, but Skyrim has a whole pile of NPCs who are immortal for some or all of the game. And for FO4, while it is a bit better than Skyrim, someone went and made a mod to remove essential status
