I disagree, compared to the birds interceptions of Rogue, the side missions of Unity (exept for the murder mysteries and the glyphs search) are much more interesting in my opinion. But if your question is could they have done less side missions ? If as a player you do not enjoy it, I presume the answer is yes.

Concerning the problem with the story of the Assassin's creeds, I believe that it came from the fact that since the Borgia, the antagonists are not any more cartoon evil. You can adhere or not to their objectives, but you can understand it, so there are not the drive to kill them all that was present in the first game, when they were all corrupt bastards.
