If timelapse is how we're viewing the pulse, then the pyramid ships aren't reacting to it for millions (or billions) of years, and they literally are of no consequence to the story of Destiny

At this point, we have reason to believe the Traveler itself is vastly old and has been operating for millions of years. We also know that certainly Guardians like Lord Saladin have been alive and apparently ageless for some five hundred years. Who are you to say that Destiny 3 won’t be set a billion years from now but with all the Guardians we know and love still alive? Instead of defending a planet maybe we’ll end up defending a galaxy spanning civilization.

People from Bungie have been quoted as saying that the Pyramid Ships will be important to Destiny’s story in a few year’s time. They didn’t say it, but presumably they’ll be an enemy in Destiny 3. But no matter timeframe the Light reached them in that cutscene, any line of thinking that removes them from Destiny’s future story is a dead end and should be abandoned.
