This page in the Cyberpunk wiki paints a very depressing picture:

Classifying the different stages of the same quest as separate quests is misleading. Even though one stage is a hard prerequisite for the next stage, insisting to count them as separate quests. Desperation, straw-clutching, is what this is.
Even after you combine the falsely portrayed as different sidequests to get a realistic number, the vast majority of these, with only a few exceptions, fall into the category which in GTA is called "Strangers and freaks".
Take out the multi-stage romance "side jobs" which only require pressing a button from time to time, and you can count the actual side missions on the fingers of two hands, if not less.
Bottom line - Night City is empty. And our boy Pawel is forced to give us the party line, although he knows full well what the truth is, and wouldn't be playing this game on twitch if he wasn't required to.
