However, the reason the companions are generally not like that is so that they check the Doctor when he loses sight of the little things because he's too caught up in the big picture, so that the Doctor + companions balance out to a good middle ground.
And anyway, being too companion-like isn't necessarily a great thing either. It can be kind of self-centered, which isn't necessarily bad but which can go off the rails in a bad way in the wrong circumstances. I mean, Waters of Mars happened because he was initially too compassionate, but that compassion promptly got hijacked by hubris and anger over having to obey harsh laws when there was no one left to enforce them and ended with the Doctor tearing apart history while basically gleefully singing "FUCK DA POLICE" rather than being a good person.
So y'know, it's not like one mentality is bad or the other is good. They're both pretty important, and that's why there's at least two people in the TARDIS and usually more than one person with different attitudes involved in any of their successful adventures.
