>I suppose most of these are main-story level plot stuff
Yeah, a lot of that has more to do with the main story that's probably on the docket to be revealed through it. Or it's simply elements the writers could explore but just aren't right now.

There's nothing really building us up for an excursion to the wider Outer Ring, for example. We can just logically assume there's more to it. And the Intelligent Construct thing is treated as a normal worldbuilding element, nothing the player is being primed to learn more about through a side character/faction.
