Sure, but it's still a goal
That's true for the main quest, but not for the rest
In fact one serious flaw of Oblivion (and even to some extent F3 and Skyrim), is that alot of significant side content is scattered throughout the map and the game never even hints about it
They only become apparent when the players finds these locations, which are all in places the main quest doesn't take you (so no fast travel until you actually go there) and some honestly seem like they were placed just to fill some empty spot on the map (which means these locations are basically hidden away)
But this does go to build on their intention at the time for Oblivion to be a epic adventure over a sprawling generic fantasy country
Not Oblivion
It was made clear from the game's reveal that the Oblivion Gates were the central threat and also what they were
You can lay this criticism on the overwhelming majority of cRPG's
Again, the main difference between Oblivion (and even later Beth games to an extent) and Starfield, is that the latter is truly incapable of tying together its game mechanics
There's is nothing in Starfield in both gameplay and quests that can come together and just work for a couple of hours
Oblivion has that, at least
That's why people, even here and who aren't Bethseda fanboys, still passionately talk about things like the moment you first emerge from the prision sewers, or the Guild and Deadric quests, or lore the "Knights of the Nine", or the "Shivering Isles", or just the simple activity of trekking through the Jerall Mountains and overlooking the landscape while listening to Jeremy Soule cumming all over your eardrums
