Except real MMO's have literally 5-10x the content destiny does. Multiple endgame raids, lots of usesable weapons, far more classes and features.. Destiny is a shallow compared to any good MMORPG, so making that direct comparsion isn't valid. When MMO's release expansions they are usually bigger than the entire game of destiny. It's not one set of armor, 1 raid and a few new weapons. If they had given us 3 new raids in this expansion with guns in each, sure make VOG irrelevant. Instead they made the vendor stuff even better than VOG gear to make us grind that and gave us one new raid with all brand new materials to slow progression. That's not how a good MMO operates.
Hell the new raid isnt' even that great. I enjoyed it the first few times, but it's too exploitable. The lights can be done killing a grand total of 2 enemies in a time span of about 3 minutes. We all know the bridge can be done multiple ways that destroy that mechanic. The CP system to skip it, along with a lack of loot makes deathsingers not worth messing with, despite it being one of the hardest parts and LITERALLY the only section without a massive gamebreakign exploit. We all know how 95% of raid groups "beat Crota". At least VOG has been patched and fixed where people have to follow the mechanics. Plus VOG is just a bit longer even when both are run properly.
A 33 hardmode VOG could be quite fun. They can fix the last few exploits that exist, force us to do oracles from the bottom, make confluxes have praetorians, have Minotaurs during templar fight. Minotaurs along with supplicants during the Atheon fight.. Just various things to make it harder and then give us materials for an upgrade path for our old primaries. The whole raid can drop nothing but upgrade materials.. Hell they can make it available as DLC only, I don't care.. I'd just like to have an incentive to play the game more often than I do and more end game content in general

Indeed. One could argue that the frequent turnover of endgame weapons is precisely to counteract the lack of content. Otherwise, if old raid gear was still viable, why keep grinding and playing? Levelling up new weapons and armour to fruitlessly chase a rapidly shifting endgame marker is literally the ONLY reason to keep playing PvE in this game. Yes, other MMOs do this too, but as a supplementary mechanic to actual content expansions. It's not literally the sole purpose of playing as it is here. Guild Wars 2 has Living Story, WoW WoD has new regions etc. In neither case are upgraded gear the only reason to keep playing. They rather come along for the ride, so to speak. I still play Destiny as I immensely enjoy the PvP. But I certainly get my "MMO fix" and story fix elsewhere. It's a shame as the Destiny world has so much potential but has been squandered in a way I've never seen before.
