If each episode is around 20 minutes long then I'll agree with you. But some episodes are as short as 3 bloody minutes, and some of the scenes while admittedly important as major character development (like Jaune's), were so generic that we likely could've used it for something else.

Everyday life is boring? Everyday life in Beacon involves combat/dueling lessons (which we still likely don't get to see much because fight scenes obviously take a lot of effort to animate. They would want to confine it to major skirmishes only), Dust-related classes etc basically a bunch of world building stuff that many of us would appreciate more than Jaune's Arc (absolutely no hate or offense to the character; it's more of the problem that again, the Episodes are too short due to budget/time constraints). Slice of life builds character - more often than not it's not the big stuff that really moves people's heart, but the combination many little things that make even the toughest of people cry.
