Because the high quality doesn’t come in until way later. When you’re playing through the campaign for the first time, you have neither the knowledge nor the resources to make a proper build, so the gameplay is very bland in comparison to what you can do later.

Warframe devs acknowledge and joke about the fact that the game starts getting good a hundred hours in.
