This makes a lot of sense. So the improvements went into D1 code, but not into D2 because it had already been forked?

As a software engineer, this explanation makes sense to me. It’s likely when they decided to do Destiny 2, they would have forked the old codebase so they had a stable platform to build on top of. Likely they would have tried to merge in changes when it made sense, but that isn’t always easy or possible. Depending on how much the codebases have diverged some of the fixes will probably be simple for them to port over, while others will be difficult to impossible to reuse. Likely, they have to evaluate each one independently to determine if it’s even worth it.
