The game is shallow, yes, but it's just the beginning

Well that's what they are telling you at least. Seeing they never delivered on their initial promises on the retail version of the game why would you be inclined to believe that it's really just the beginning of anything other than adding some DLC for you to continue grinding over and over? I'm not a fan of developers shipping half baked games that aren't finished product. I believe the first expansion isn't even a new planet. IMO Bungie/Activision sunk so much money into the game they felt the only way to ensure it was profitable was to scale down the retail version and nickel and dime gamers with the rest of the game over DLC. If you really look at the content we got for $70 it amounts to a 6-8 hour game. Some people like me simply don't have 30+ hours to sink into playing the same missions over and over again to level up in the 20's that are painfully slow. I spent 1.5 hours last night grinding away replaying levels/strikes I've already replayed numerous times and the single piece of light armour I receive is for a Hunter class so it's useless to me. That frustrating to me not fun.
The foundation is laid out so I don't see what's going to change going forward as the formula likely won't change. The expansions are going to be light on content and simply require considerably more grinding for the people that have hours to spare daily replaying the game over and over. There's a reason the reviews are so low for this game as much as the gaming media wanted to love this game they couldn't give it a good score based on the fact for all it's polish it's a very flawed game.
