Providing the option would be nice though. Elder Scrolls has it and that series has a lot of interacting with the environment.

This game doesn't seem anything like an Elder Scrolls game though. A game like Deus Ex would be wonky in third person and if this is like that it makes total sense. Elder Scrolls has some pretty shoddy animations in general also.

The reason for something like this is probably because they haven't actually animated the character you're playing as in a way that makes sense for third person. It's not really a simple thing for most games.

Look at how Crysis 2 does it for example and that game is of much smaller scale

Also, this is very true. Some games just work better in first person to avoid how faulty the animations may appear from the third-person perspective. Let's not forget that infamous Mirror's Edge video:

I do enjoy seeing my character and any visual customisation...but in terms of combat with firearms I really enjoy 1st person more.
Its not really an issue for me either way. It also depends on the the developer, some can animate 3rd person very well, like Naughty Dog or Rock star...whereas Bethesda just can't seem to get 3rd person quite right.
