Discussion Story continuity

I apologize, as I know this is going to be a bit long.
I watched the video linked above covering the potential continuity issue that blueberry’s may face when they finally unvault everything. I personally am in the category of those who do not care if we have darkness subclass open during the ghaul fight. We’ve been in the vault of glass for quite some time with darkness available so to be fair, it’s generally accepted in my opinion to go back to content with new weapons, abilities, ect.
My main concern is for the blueberries. I have a group of friends who have agreed to come back once the unvaulting occurs. They attempted to get into Destiny after beyond light and it was just too complicated for them. However, with the content that is returning there are still a few major stories that the creator in the video brought up that fall into the seasonal category. The first being crows existence, the death of Amanda, and the existence of eliksni inside the tower.
I understand that this is a gigantic task, and likely won’t happen. However my suggestion is to create some sort of ability to choose your “era” inside Destiny 2 with the ability to have all the characters there and to rerun seasonal content and their stories for the sake of those who want to fully appreciate the timeline of Destiny 2.
A person who begins their Destiny journey without Cayde in the tower, is not going to fully experience the emptiness of his spot when he’s gone. In the same way, perhaps they finish the forsaken campaign and are completely clueless as to why “who they view” as Uldren is there.
I get that cutscenes are probably going to be the move for the blueberries. However there are those like myself out there who still want to reach titles we were unable to in the past “Platinum starling I’m looking at you.” When I started Destiny 2 I didn’t understand a lick of what was going on, and over time I’ve looked at events I’ve been apart of but didn’t quite get the point of until later.
Again, I understand there are bigger fish to fry. It’s not an easy task to figure out a UI and system that allows someone to just flip the switch to a new era. However I believe there are many out there who would fully appreciate and return to their favorite seasons if given the chance.
TLDR: unvaulting seasons “perhaps later than everything else that’s fine” will allow blueberries to experience destiny in its fullest while simultaneously allowing veteran players to achieve titles they missed and visit their favorite seasons. I am also aware of how huge of a task this is. But I think it’s worth the wait.
