In my experience, standard procedure with MMO expansions is some content available for everyone, most available for those who've run out of things to do in the old game, thus already have everything unlocked, so making it available only to them isn't a big negative. That market's already there. They're the ones who want/need their game expanded, as it were.
If you want to see the new stuff and haven't done the old stuff, then there's always the option of not buying the new stuff until you've seen the old stuff. Technically you don't lose out on anything, except time, but that's time that was lost somewhere along the line before the expansion's arrival, at least relative to the expansion's usual targets.
Alts, though, or rerolls, they're another kettle of fish, yeah. Technically, you've seen the old stuff, just not on that character, but it's something of a self-inflicted inconvenience in this game at least.
That's not saying it wouldn't be nice for more of the new stuff to at least be accessible for exploration and visibility for everybody. It would. I just see why it's not a priority.
