The standard argument here is that you're not supposed to look in every container for loot. However yep everyone I've seen play this game including myself is an absolute loot goblin. What if this rotten fruit basket has a +2 greatsword or boots of elvenkind!
I think there's a mod that adds a button you can click to "loot the room" - characters make perception rolls and "find" anything of value and put the items into their inventories. Haven't tried it but might be your jam.
I completely agree with your comment. It's a bit of a slowdown from play when you search everything but at the same time if playing tabletop you'd have people trying random things that don't light up for interaction of a video game. In the end it's only a slight slowdown anyways and does add to immersion so it's not terrible but more a time waster is all.
I haven't looked at mods yet, I like to do a first playthrough vanilla usually but I completely forgot they were a thing here, so thanks for the reminder.
