All EPs are DLC, but not all DLCs are EPs, (Destiny)

I wouldn't put it that way. Just by something being downloadable does't make it DLC. Otherwise, any full game offered on the store is DLC.
Expansion packs are about cohesiveness and interconnectedness of the content, whereas DLC is about interchangeable content. Expansion packs deliver an experience where the content is related and builds upon itself, creating something that almost resembles a new game. It is sold in large chunks because the content is woven together, and to remove anything would be to unravel the experience.
DLC is about mixing and matching, and creating standalone experiences that can be skipped and have little impact on the experience (or else they'd be included). This is why they can be sold individually.
