Yes, because games that try to encourage exploration love to show you the entire map in the trailer.

Oh, my sweet summer child.

How do you know? At various points this world floods, flies, falls apart etc etc so it's clearly subject to major changes. After a world-ending cataclysm we have no way of knowing what survived.

Games that try to encourage exploration normally show you that there's anything to explore.

Like floating landmasses newly arrived in the sky, for example?

Sure, if there's an entire hyrule sized area worth of them. but it looks like it's more like a skyloft sized area to explore. I'd pay 10$ for that as a DLC for BOTW.

Alright. You seem pretty determined that you know the map will remain unchanged, so I'll stop trying to bring logic into this.

The entire reveal cinematic and multiple shots in the trailers also take place below ground.

Fact is we don't know shit about the world just like we didn't know shit about anything off the Great Plateau before BotW released.

They didn't show much of anything before BotW launched. Almost all of the gameplay footage was from the Great Plateau plus some establishing and action shots off of it.
