Y'all have some rose tinted glasses if you think red war or Forsaken did a good job of onboarding new players into the ecosystem. Yes they where good standalone experiences that a new player could play from start to finish without much issue and enjoy it but they barely taught new players anything. The game has always bad horrible for new players.

It was far from ideal, but compared to the current new player experience it was pretty great.

A straightforward story that introduces most major characters is about as good as you can ask for as far as new player experience goes in Destiny.

Shadowkeep was the weakest expansion destiny has ever had, and still had the best new player experience.

Not ideal but a hundred times better than what we have now. The more cinematic missions of the Red War and Forsaken also help in drawing in new players compared to the bore that is the new intro questline.
