Only surprising that they'd tip their hand so soon and spoil the story for the average viewer.

The trouble with their whole approach to lore more generally is that they drop things in as Easter eggs and it's entirely superficial. Like there's literally nothing behind it, it's just name-dropping. Those little hints will be all you ever get, even when it's something that *is* in the Appendices because they just don't want to deal with it in any real way. Because they have no love for it whatsoever.
