That was a big issue for me when I was trying to get my friend to play destiny 2 with me. So much of the story is locked behind dlc and/or relies on you having played the game consistently for the past 6 years to experience everything as it releases so you can be up to date on the confusing story or new currency/leveling system

I tried to play 4 years ago cause some friends had been playing for a while. There was a token intro quest then it just... drops you in the hub world. I tried following what I guessed was a quest chain, but when I got down to the planet there was just a constant stream of events and invasions and just so much noise. I had no context for anything and didn't know what was necessary to do or not. I played for 90 minutes and never booted the game up again.

A friend of mine explained that the devs cleared content because console players can't be expected to have all the data installed on their systems. Which like, that makes sense, but there's gotta be a better solution.
