Explain to me why this isn;t open (Destiny)

I have a simple explanation.

It's still incomplete.

Although that the content is loadable, there's no actual story content in there. Why should it be open at all if it doesn't actually serve a purpose yet?

Maybe. The fact that you don't see anything happen (I'm assuming here, I haven't watched it and won't for fear of spoilers) doesn't mean there's no data. Lots of events - audio clips, cutscenes, etc., need triggers to make them play out. You might not see anything because the player hasn't picked up a relevant quest, or hasn't traveled through the right trigger area, and so on. There were good examples of this in the Halo games, when you'd skip certain areas the enemies in the rest of the level wouldn't load.
