. . . or it might be that we never do that because this way you have a chance to read and internalize the first book before we throw its follow-up at you. That way people can also space out their purchases without feeling overwhelmed or "behind" because they can't keep up.

I agree with this 100%. The first volume of a series says just as much about the series as the second or later volumes.
Wastelanders sets the tone of the game by suggesting what niches are valuable in this setting, what their approximate power level should be, and what sort of traits they have access to. From reading it, you know how
After the End handles /TL skills, that most cinematic traits aren't assumed to be available by default, how gear and trading will be treated, and what types of heroes the game assumes you'll be playing. And all that is just as much a part of the worldbuilding as anything you'll find in the upcoming volume.
