Oryx was weak?

My theory is that the Oryx that we fight in the King's Fall raid is a weakened oryx. This is due to the complete cutoff of tribute from Crota and his entire court. In the Books of Sorrow, it is said that killing is used to feed the worm within each hive spawn. These worms are what give the hive immortality, so if they are not fed, the worms instead feed on the souls of their hive. It is also said that each hive must tithe their excess killing to their superiors in order to help them feed their worm. In the 50th calcified fragment, oryx states that he depends greatly on his tribute, and if the tribute were to go away, his worm would feed on him, making him weaker. Our killing Crota would result in a massive amount of tribute being lost, because all of the tithing done by the hive in our system would not go to him In the grimoire card about Oryx, Oryx says he feels his son's absence like a hole in his stomach, because that's literally what it is: a hole in his stomach. His worm isnt being fed enough so it is eating oryx. Oryx doesn't come to our system to avenge his son, he clearly thinks that anything killed in their own throne world deserved their death, oryx is here to make up for lost tribute. So oryx is being eaten by his worm, and even more so as you approach him, having killed his entire ascendant court. He is dying before you get to him, and so there is no way he was fighting at full capacity when he was defeated. The implications of this are as such: were a different hive ascendant, say xivu arath or savathun to come to our system, they would be much stronger than oryx was at the time, because we haven't killed any of their court. Frankly that seems like something fun to look forward to, right? :) Edit: It was brought to my attention that since guardians have killed thousands of things, we have obtained the sword logic from them as well. This definitely played a factor in how we destroyed oryx and his court, given that their entire society revolves around the sword logic.
