It's all an interconnected story, of course it feels like a continuation lol.
That's not entirely accurate.

ARR's main storyline thrust was finished upon completion of 2.0. The 2.x content meandered around for a bit and then started pushing toward Heavensward, but was definitely distinct from the main conflict of 2.0. Heavensward's main storyline thrust was finished upon completion of the Dragonsong War at the end of 3.3. The content for 3.4 on began pushing toward Stormblood. Stormblood's main storyline quest... hasn't really ended. We've had a few detours before getting back to the main conflict, but the issues surrounding the Warriors of Darkness, Zenos, and the Ascians (specifically relating to their involvement with Garlemald) have essentially taken center stage for over two years now, and look slated to continue into Shadowbringers.

So it's far, far more appropriate to call Shadowbringers 'Stormblood part 2' than it is to make that claim about any previous expansions.
