What's special about YOUR specific guardian?

So I generally think about games from a storyline point of view, and I noticed something strange. Your guardian is constantly doing things for the vanguard and your allies. If you play Destiny 2 and chose to transfer your character from D1, then you were presented with a cutscene of all the accomplishments you achieved. But as far as the storyline goes from both games, no other guardians are mentioned. You never hear of "Shock-9", the Exo titan that completed the VOG before you. From the story line, you completed all the strikes, nightfalls, raids, and defeated all main enemies -Crota, Orix, etc...-, you were the beginning of the new iron lords, you were the first and only guardian to regain your light after the last city was attacked, and defeated GARY. Granted, you need a fire team for some things, -like the Leviathan- but if there is a cutscene afterwards, only your guardian appears. The only recognition of your deeds that I noticed, was when you visited the vendors and vanguards after the campaign, and they gave a 1-2 sentence long, "thanks". From the storyline point of view, you should be treated as royalty. I can't be the only one to have noticed this. What's your thoughts on the matter?

    Technically nothing, but I do like to come up with personalities and b.s. grounds for my characters when I can, not that anyone else ever knows about it but I used to write a lot of fabric for other games and now its just habit for all of my characters to actually be explained. For example my 3 hunters in d2 (two are new and still being leveled): Hunter 1: human male nightstalker Leader of the 3 and the most experienced (this was my main from day 1 in destiny 1). Very balanced loadout and approach to combat. Mostly focused on recon/scouting roles and stealth. Pledged to dead orbit, uses mida multi & mini and Quickfang. Hunter 2: exo female gunslinger Gung-ho personality type and an excessive love for guns and explosives of all types. Loves to get into the thick of things and lay down as much destruction as possible. Pledged to new monarchy, focuses on forward assault and fire support and is the weapons quartermaster for the group. Hunter 3: awoken female arcstrider Youngest of the three, personality type is timid yet curious. Expert martial artist and pledged to future war cult. Role in the group is close combat, as well as piloting.
