Is there something as doing too many internships? I'm about to finish my MSc studies (business) and have already worked for 5 firms during the ~6 years of my studies. Durations vary between 2-11 months, quite different fields as well, how is this regarded once I graduate and look for a real job. As someone who has insight into various fields and has a broad range of experience, or a typical millenial who doesn't know shit about what to do with his life and has no loyalty whatsoever (kinda the truth)?

Youll probably be fine. People switch jobs all the time and employers have seen this before.
I am not a professional HR guy or a CEO but the only issue I ever had with internships is the unpaid ones. To me, if someone tells me they worked in an unpaid internship for 3 or 4 months or whatever that just tells me that they do not value their own abilities nor think they deserve payment for them. I have also seen enough about how much "hard work" unpaid interns do (I don't blame em though because I wouldn't be busting my ass or anything for free either) to know that their work ethic is not as good as someone who worked for a check.
Just my two cents on internships. Someone with more recruiting experience could give you another opinion on it. Having experience is always better than none of course so I think you will be fine OP with the internships you've done. Most recruiters know that interns don't stick around for a long time, otherwise they wouldn't be interns.
