You'd be surprised but with a game that has tens of millions of players, not everyone gets all the details during their playthrough. Some folks get distracted or don't pick up on the subtext, or they don't read the notes or journals they come across, or they aren't versed in serialized, multithreaded stories so they lose track of what happened and to whom. We don't do most things in cinematics so it's on players to pay attention throughout, and that can be hard. Especially when releases are several months apart.
The journal is a good place to get a reminder, but some folks don't read it so they're missing out on extra stuff. But that's by design. A player can take in as much or as little as they want and play the game how they want.
