He’s angry at us When we killed Oryx in “The taken king” destiny 1 expansion, sword logic demanded we take the thrown. Among other things, they kind of believe in the whole “keep what you kill” mantra Instead we just left. Thrown sitting empty in a gigantic space ship. So we went against everything in his philosophy, and skipped the biggest potential power grab in history. And by doing so said his philosophy stinks Like being elected the pope, and just as you are about to be coronated you give the cardinals the middle finger and say “So long suckers, I’m an aetheist”

As someone who played D1. [spoiler]I love this dude Toland, underrated in my opinion. I was glad he showed up in Shadowkeep more[/spoiler]

It's not really arrogance, he just sees things from a very, very, very different perspective. In many ways, he is right with what he says. However, I think his gripes would be more valid if he had been there to help us with his knowledge, rather than watch from afar and scoff after it was over.
