Entire plot lines hinging on people not explaining themselves which would take about 5 seconds.

Animes abuse this trope all the time. Plot only happens because MC don't say what he wants/feels.

I think it's more the miscommunication trope, which is kind of a sub-trope of the idiot plot

The only good example I can think of where people actually explain themselves is Agents of SHIELD, which isn't even a movie. It's amazing. She doesn't doubt his loyalty for a second and understands, given their situation, why he had to keep it a secret from her. You still get drama, but it's drama from everyone being on the same dramatic page.

So… every season of Bridgerton?
