Just want to solve this problem, don't need any fancy solution for now, just reducing the amount of ticks should be enough, but couldn't get any close after looking for a while in the PGF manual.
There's any axis option that can be tweaked to change this?

%preamble \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{width=10cm,compat=1.18}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[
grid,
color = black,
axis y line = middle,
axis x line = bottom,
xlabel=$x$,
ylabel=$y$,
]
\addplot[
domain = 0:0.15,
color = blue!50,
line width = 2pt,
]
{0.5*(1-e^(-0.2))*e^((x-0.1)/0.1)};
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
