You clearly didn't play NG3, it was total overkill with QTE, bosses had them, cutscenes, even basic enemy fights, and yes even the platform selections.
Ninja Gaiden didn't have any prior to 3 and I'm not sure about the entire series of DMC since I skipped 2 but they didnt' have any either and the new one DMC is stated not to have any neither.
The only one you got right was the God of War series which has them during cutscenes, boss battles, and chests. It's not as bad as NG3. Ninja Blade is about the only other action game that abused the QTE more than NG3 though in NB defence it's QTE was a bit more interesting since if you missed it "continued" on anyhow with NG3 if you miss you'll end up repeating it over and over.
