The purpose of Quests in Vanila (Destiny)

I always found the bounties and quests in Vanilla were less about "Epic Journeys" and more about getting you to try out and play content in some different ways, importantly teaching you some great mechanics along the way.

That was what the thorn bounty mostly did for me, it taught me how to play the MP properly, then gave a good instruction on the exact effects of the mythic skull. It made me look at existing content a little differently.

IT sounds like the quests in the final are going to embrace a bit more new content, with the quests that end in the vault, and Petra's Quest giving story details.

It sounds like these are continuing that system though, with some bounties designed to help you explore your abilities, and I believe they follow up with a short mission where you get to explore your super.
