No, I don't think I'm missing any context, because you also said so in your opening post - not responding to anyone - and said that people owe the studio an apology for this. I repeat... As a consumer, why does that matter? It's still a full-priced game with paid DLC coming out very shortly after launch, regardless of who developed said DLC. I think you used it as an argument for why it makes the DLC better or more worth it, and I think that's not a valid argument at all. 

The reason the developer is relevant is because people have a strange notion that if the DLC comes out around the same time, they just chopped out a piece of the game to sell separately. Which doesn't make a ton of sense, but w/e. As the game was made by an entirely separate team, it demonstrates that this clearly was not the case. 

As a follow up question, why, as a consumer, does it matter that the DLC soon after launch? It if it released a year later for the same price, then it wouldn't make a difference, right?

To me, it doesn't. So I'm the wrong person to ask. I just thought it was a very faulty argument because to a lot of people it does - who developed it shouldn't really change that.
