Exactly. There’s a reason there’s like a dozen “alternate start” mods for Skyrim but most people just play New Vegas with mods that improve the graphics and keep the game stable, if any. Starting a new game in New Vegas takes like five minutes. In Skyrim it takes like 45.
I think since Skyrim is so open and the main quest is so optional, a new playthrough feels fresh enough to brave the long ass intro, as opposed to feeling like a checklist like some games (even though, annoyingly, it mostly is)
