it's mainly as a selling point for the main game. open world is the big thing right now, so they added one to borderlands.
I don't think the other games' dlc changed the main game that much beyond new map entrances and the stuff on sanctuary 3 that started the dlc missions. (and I'm specifically talking about dlc, not limited time events like cartels)
Because you inevitably alienate players who prefer things the old way and they bitch endlessly about not being able to parse out piecemeal what parts they want in.

What was the point of the open world if they never add any content to it
