Doesn't matter when you paid for HoW. Level 20 strikes are cake walks for a level 24 or higher. With no Heroic strikes or nightfalls, you're left with PoE for a challenge. And...well we'll just say there's been better content. The point is, Bungie didn't choose a great activites model for expansions. The issue is only compounded by the fact that there are no static loot activities except for the raids. I'm not sure if the raids will even give you xp when you play them now.

You're still not having Vanilla content taken away from you

What about all the vendors in the tower? They only sell gear from the current expansion. You have no way of purchasing any of the old gear that you DID pay for. That, by definition, is content removed.

You can still acquire that gear from PoE and CE DLC

No, you cant. The vendor gear had perks specific to vanilla and TDB and HoW. A version of it may still be in the loot table but the perks are entirely random. Those specific weapon and armor pieces are now lost to RNG.

But they're still there
