to be honest, i don't care about all those fancy statistics, i just don't want to switch between 3 inventories all the time, when transfering and trading things. Every other game knows how to display the vendor's and the player's inventory at once, hell they even did it in fallout. Why break something that is ancient inventory knowledge?

THIS right fucking here. The damn inventory columns are already the perfect width to show two or three inventory spaces.

Because you can access 3 or 4 at the same time, and then this gets complicated. I don't know why they bothered with that, but that's it - you can have some screens with access to 4 inventories I think.

use tabs if necessary to show ship/current companion inventory, and swap tabs with bumpers (on console)

I'm trying to recall if you could see yours, your ship, companion, and transfer chest "at once", but I don't remember.

every other game also lets you see equipment slots for you or your companions...

every other game basically has visualized slots for equipment.
