We have a game that isn't even open world, but rather separate maps for strikes and missions. So much for 'world'.

It's continuous and connected, yup. In fact, the opening of the Strike is also connected and accessible in the same way. Rooster Teeth reported in running into a random boss before entering the strike proper. That's a public event, and you could tackle it with a mixed group comprised of players in the strike, playing campaign, and on Patrols.

Once you head into the Strike proper, it becomes private automagically.

Sounds open world to me.

The whole director thing is basically their quick travel system.
