I know that there are countless amount of movies/games soundtracks with leitmotifs, but other than that I’ve never found albums with leitmotifs.

How is it not?. If anything, DT’s instrumental use of leitmotif for composition is more classical and predates the crude and vulgar current interpretation of leitmotif=“this character is on screen”.
“A leitmotif or Leitmotiv[1] (/ˌlaɪtmoʊˈtiːf/) is a “short, recurring musical phrase”[2] associated with a particular person, place, or idea.”
I don’t think any of DTs recurring musical phrases are “associated with a particular person, place, or idea.”
