Well, if you mean the part of the bestiary that overlaps with the item collecting, sure it's then basically the same thing. Still, I don't think even the rarest items take that much time, and finding a good hunting spot and optimizing your stats to do it efficiently is an interesting task in itself.

It's wasted time of course; but with games, what isn't? It's all good if you're having fun (it's certainly a problem if you're autistic enough to try even though you AREN'T having fun).
