It's a big reason why I hated FF7R (which I pirated, and fucking glad I did so). It's a big reason I'd never consider playing a second run of Last of Us (even though I actually enjoyed the game, fuck its sequel). It's one of the many reasons I'd never pick up Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness (sorry Fiore, your godlike design alone can't sell a game).
Dying Light and the Dead Island games also did a lot of this shit to excess. Just remembered how long and annoying all of the sequences for radioing in with your handler in Dying Light was.
Also, can I just say that I have yet to see an escort mission in a modern game that I haven't outright hated? Which is doubly hilarious given how those were some of my favorite kind of missions in the X-Wing series. (Granted, I guess it's easier to make that less of a pain in the ass in open space)
