Yes... and ARR was also meant to be the buildup, our introduction to this world and its worldbuilding. And it's been a constant complaint for years about how bloated and padded the quests are that is still slowly being addressed. With how massively bloated EW was -- seemingly just so Yoshi-P could boast on stage about how it's the longest expansion yet! -- we're inevitably going to have the MSQ slog problem where new players will have to go through 2000 hours of cutscenes of Y'shtola twirling and giggling and 30-minute-long elaborate Redwall-esque feasts with the Super Best Friends Who All Agree 100% With Each Other, then teleport and run forward 10 feet to repeat the same.
