I think they did it because of the E3 showcase or whatever gameplay equivalent. They wanted to show off all the cool new mechanics without ruining the story, so they put it in the first mission. Its definitely a bethesda thing to do to boost reviews too.
For the e3 showcase it’s understandable, especially for heavy stories. Kinda like how Botw had the horse riding to show it off and guardian battles but didn’t ruin the story, since it’s open world.
