People who didn't play ARR yet won't know that it was delayed content unless they research.

The rest? Depending on the depth of the storyline and if you consider quests and tome farming as content, it may not be 'new' either since it's not an expansion pack and highly unlikely they're adding a ton of new areas to the game in 2.1. So no, it's not about the rewards, it's the fact the "new content" largely isn't new at all. They're distractions, sure.
