I feel that. At least with Dark Souls, you could look at the descriptions of actual in-game items discovered through thorough exploration and pick up on pieces of the backstory from that, whereas with Destiny you need to read the cards on the app/website or whatever to get the big picture. Still, you're right, plenty of the lore in Destiny wasn't even revealed until the DLC came out.
