Some of what now appears as junk may end up as crafting materials e.g. some of the food items may be used to make dishes that provide more healing etc. Certainly that's one of the things they did in DOS but whether they plan to here or this is just a leftover from their previous systems is another matter.
But yeah too many containers and if its not of use in crafting or some other function I'd rather not see junk like forks in chests or any container for that matter. As people have said takes too long organising inventory and the hoarding items that only sell for 1 gold but still apply weight in your inventory is just wrong.
