And stuff needs a bit more background and development behind it, one that if they can't get Matsuno to work on, they should get other people to do so.

And even so, all the things you said ARE valid stuff. POTD is Gelmorra, we have the Four Lords, we visited Terncliff... aaaand what? What else was done with that information? It felt rather self-contained, did it not? To me, so too did the one Allagan period they use. And again, I understand... but I won't deny that I kinda want other stuff than just that same thing.

And I'm not saying that exploring the Allagans are a bad thing in and of themselves, but I feel like while it's natural, it's still a constant thing they go for. With all the rest being either vacant or just one-note. When thre isn't much of a need. Also, an ice age can at the very least prevent you from building quite a few things due to a lack of resources. Not everyone can live in cold climates like the Lost, the Ishgardians and Garleans
I guess my question then to you at least is why would you want such little lore about those places be tied to a DD? As the other two were kinda bare bones.
