Since you have to carry things differently based on every item.

There are hundreds of items.

 

Very long.

Very long.

And yet still worth the effort. If we dismiss every single suggestion based on "it'd take a long time" then why bother making a game at all? It takes a long time to make.

Infinite vs Limited resources.

Since there is no infinite number of staff to do infinite amount of work.

Game Developers pick what resources to best spend effort on.

 

The more time you spend on one thing, less time you can spend on something else.

They are already planning on converting all 2D sprites to 3D models - that was Mr. Rockstars job.

 

Animators also are one of the most demanding jobs in that regard.

They could use simple rigs and try to fit models fit one of 4 - 5 basic setups. 

But there are going to be many outliers. 

 

So it comes down to will showing every single item being able to be held - worth dedicating time into?
Or are there better things better spent time on?

You have said exactly nothing that I didn't already understand
