Would it be difficult to add more story “content” to the game? I’m not sure if this is a technical limitation (maybe NPC dialog is limited as a certain amount of words?) but why can’t NPC’s or other sources provide information such as the recently posted “Short Story: The Trek of the Zephyrites” https://www.guildwars2.com/en/community-news/short-story-the-trek-of-the-zephyrites/?utm_source=client

Another example is found in a previous video where two writers from the Anet team presented their vision for the direction of the living story over the next few months (don’t have the link available). It was clear from watching this video that the writers had lots of ideas on the back story (detailed facts, histories, etc).

So I guess what I’m wondering is why are hardly any of these ideas the writers have ever actually presented IN GAME? All we get is a very superficial outline of the details of the events of the living story or otherwise. I know some of these ideas are hidden away in various short dialog sequences that inquisitive players may discover, but the vast majority of the lore is completely omitted from the actual game that I can tell.
