Better question: Why isn't everyone else? (Destiny)
It's the computer networked age. Every other form of entertainment has supplamental material on the internet that can be accessed via other devices. Buy a song on CD, look up the lyrics on a web page, watch the music video on youtube (MTV is dead, right?), and go down to your local stadium for a concert.
Maybe Bungie isn't distributing the resources around the way some would prefer, but I don't think that cramming it all into the game is what we really want for the future of games.
Side effect: The fans have more tools and abilities to do what they've always done. It used to require some real reverse engineering or be impossible to pull info out of a game, and heaven forbid you put info into it. Now I can browse my stands from the internet and set up armor sets to switch around before I even get home.
Just one mans humble opinion :)
