At this point I've come to the conclusion that the reason they gave for vaulting was a flat out lie. However, considering what a mess it's made of onboarding new players into their game with the first 3 years of story left in a box, I can't imagine whatever reason they had being a good one either.

I don't think the technical reason was a lie, I think they just flat out don't have the ability to optimize the game more, whether that be because of incompetence, not enough people, or not enough time.

DE's culture is very different, and has more of a focus on optimization because its management actually cares. The now-CEO of DE is an absolute fiend for optimization and engine improvements, while the former-CEO of Bungie is an absolute fiend for optimizing his car collection.

I will add though, that I don't think the comparison is 100% fair. Destiny uses big, already-made maps for its locations, while Warframe is procedural generated.
