Blizzard is bad about this with WoW too. A lot of the content is only available as launch-day cinematics, and is vaulted once the expansion has launched. Getting the full plot for WoW as a new player is basically impossible, because so much of the game has been hidden from players.
It’s to create FOMO, and keep players active. If players know they can access content whenever they want, there’s no incentive for them to log in right now.
They’ve done away with some of this with the time walking features. You can actually go and level a character through those old expansions these days. I think the only one fully missing is vanilla because of the cataclysm, but then there’s vanilla wow for that
