Two dungeons/two extreme trials at lvl 90, leveling alt jobs (combat/crafters/gatherers), ranking up zones by farming FATEs, doing early hunts for uncapped tomestones, leveling up trusts. Some would consider a few of these examples to be stretching what could be considered content in the first place.

The things you're likely referring to:
Normal raiding, savage raiding, capped tomestone/expert roulette, new treasure map dungeon, new PvP mode. The first not being available until two weeks after the official launch, the following three releasing in the first week of January, and the last one being a feature for 6.1 or later.
It's entirely irrelevant that it's an expansion launch, because on 6.1, I'd still have to spend time doing the MSQ to access the content I like. Time I'd rather spend doing something else.
