There are infinite timelines and many copies of the Stranger. Our timeline is a promising one, but she won’t just come to us at the drop of a hat. She’s dealing with all the problems we’ve faced and even more in other timelines. Her hands (the hands that aren’t ripped off and strewn about battlefields) are full and no timeline can be given her full attention.
Edit: I notice the debate over who the Stranger is has started up again. She’s most likely Maya Sundaresh or Elsie Bray, but neither is confirmed. Maya Sundaresh’s experiences with the Vex and other such things made her the leading candidate until D2, when Bungie released lore hinting that she was Elsie Bray.
I’ve had an idea about this. Remember that the Stranger was communicating with someone? Perhaps Elsie is the Stranger and Maya is the one on the other side of the radio, or maybe it’s just another Stranger on the other end, or a member of Maya’s team (telling by the new Aspect lore, it seems Maya and her team are less likely to be involved with the Stranger). We really don’t know anything, though.

Can you link to that lore? I'm curious to read it.

Okay, the lore for this stuff is kind of scattered around. This post by foxburton99 explains it all very well, and he and I both fact-checked it several times to make sure it’s lore-accurate. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/249826743/0/0 Here’s most of the Exo Stranger lore. I believe there are a couple related things that aren’t in there because they don’t directly mention the Stranger. https://www.ishtar-collective.net/categories/the-exo-stranger?highlight=Stranger Here’s the lore on Maya Sundaresh: https://www.ishtar-collective.net/categories/maya-sundaresh?highlight=Maya It’s harder to pick out the lore on Elsie Bray, but this is the important one that almost directly confirms she is the Stranger: Eon Drive Sparrow https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/eon-drive?highlight=Eon+drive And this is Eon Trespass, which mentions how Elsie disappeared during the Golden Age. https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/eon-trespass-2?highlight=Eon
