Great paper tiger arguments.
You can twist anything you want to fit your mood and I applaud the effort.
Here's a more rational and logical response, however.
Bungie set themselves up for this situation by not more clearly explaining what they were up too. The Annual Pass never "promised" much other than Bungie's position that narrative DLCs for the 2018 and 2019 post-Forsaken launch window, but it would have been better if they explained "Black Armory" has several surprises up its sleeve. When the DLC launches on December 4, your light level cap will raise to 650, you will need light to get access to these guns. This would have gone a long way to set expectations. They didn't, and the impatience of people like you are the result of that oversight.
The second thing is that we have no real insight into how this DLC is going to play out. Are these guns fun? We don't know yet. Is the raid cool? We don't know yet. Are the planned live events fun? To be determined. Is the exotic quest for the Last Word going to be on par with Whisper of the Worm? It is hard to say.
For as garbage as people say CoO was, it actually had a great Raid Lair. It offered several really cool weapons. Its weakness was Mercury and the campaign surrounding it. For as good as Warmind was, it had a weak Raid Lair and it was still hindered by static rolls.
Forsaken was a substantial improvement of the formula, but the idea that Osiris and Warmind were hot garbage is not born out by the facts.
Will Black Armory pan out? It remains to be seen. I do think that people taking your position and now and giving up on the game, were never going to be into this game for the long haul. And that's ok. Lots of games out there.
But just because you have a knee jerk reaction doesn't make your thinking clearly thought-out of correct. Thinking for other people and constructing a post out of what you think their motivations are is really silly and hardly reflective of the reality.

How can you possibly say the the perception of warmind and CoO being garbage isn’t born out by facts when all the facts you present are subjective? Your opinions are no more or less valid than the OPs. People always get into trouble when they present their opinions as facts, no matter how logical or well thought out they seem.

the facts are born out through simple objective analysis. Look at the data. First Raid Lair performed better than Spire of Stars and had a higher participation and return rate. Weapons from Osiris continue to be used with regularity in year two. Could you not use simple deductive measures to realize this?

You can skew “facts” anyway you want to justify your argument. Hell, businesses and governments have doing it for decades. When talking about data that represents how well a raid lair has performed you seem to have forgotten that a very small percentage of the player base actually raids. So if something performs well for a small percentage of people has it actually done that well? If you think it all the way through we’re still just talking about opinions and small percentages of the community.
