I think the issue there is that the Last Dregs are optional content, and the MSQ has always avoided having any significant involvement of optional content getting included. For example, people have talked about Unukalhai not having any involvement with things related to the 13th (where he's from and tried to save), but he's part of an optional questline, so the MSQ writers can't assume players know who he is or his story, hence he's not part of anything involving Zero's storyline. Likewise, in ShB he gets minorly involved, but again only in optional content (completing all of the role quests).

The one time they decided that optional content was actually essential for the MSQ was the Crystal Tower series leading into ShB, and the result was making CT become mandatory. They'll only include in the MSQ things they can guarantee every player has already experienced.

The info you bring up from the Last Dregs is optional side content from EW, so whether each of us individually likes it or not, it won't be considered relevant when writing MSQ stories.
