... I'm sure that the Peralezes would be happy if you brought down Holt, and just ending there it feels like yet another example of cut content.

And i'm sure Peralezes couldn't care less about Holt, given how my V discovered and revealed to both Peralezes that it ain't Holt who's messing with 'em. It's SSI, and SSI clearly does not do any Holt's bidding based on what V learns from all the data sources around Peralezes and SSI van.
And there is rock-solid in-lore explanation why we don't get to learn / find any much about true puppet master of Peralezes (and others), given by none other than Johnny himself: namely his remark about old rogue AI being the entity who orchestrated whole Peralezes deal. Think: if an AI is decades old, yet even in 2077 is acting on its own - what and where exactly that AI would be? Yep, one darn powerful AI, lurking somewhere behind the Black Wall (from where nobody managed to get back to tell any story what's behind that wall, as we know). And given how much trouble we get to contact one such AI - Alt - even while having lots of very special leads / tools to contact her (Johnny himself, some of the best independent netrunners of NC from vodoo boys, etc) - it's no wonder we fail to anyhow contact the AI which was directing SSI operatives. Especially seeing utmost discipline and professionalism SSI clearly is capable of, as evident from the shard dropped by one of black team SSI operatives if V manages to catch them (which almost no players ever manage to do) and several other sources.
All in all, there is lots more in major side jobs than it seems there is. It's often not easy at all to find / experience "extra details / info" - the game does not give everything to the player on the silver platter. Gotta be creative and gotta spend much time / pay lots of attention to things around V, if one wishes to discover "full" content there is.
