You make valid points on the game design, but... (Destiny)

It's not story (though the expansions have been getting progressively more coherent and engaging). It's never backstory (there isn't any).

All sorts of progressions are keyed to granting Grimoire cards, which is where the backstory is, so I believe this assertion to be false. Each of the new bounty targets and PoE bosses have their own cards, and a lot of the House of Wolves cards give backstory on the Reef Wars that flesh out what Petra and Variks talk about during the story mission voiceovers.
