So, way back in 2.5, a major event occurred in the setup for Heavensward. The Warrior of Light went to the Keeper of the Lake and met Midgardsormr for the first time. At this meeting, Middy sealed away the WoL's Blessing of Light, power given to us by Hydaelyn.
This is one of the first notable moments of the Echo and the Blessing being shown as two very different things, and even at the time some people were confused as to why we still had the Echo even though we lost the blessing.
So why didn't Middy seal away the Echo, too, if it was also a gift from Hydaelyn?
Enter 5.2, which reveals that the Echo is tied to fractured Amaurotine souls, and that what we thought was cause and effect was inverted. The Echo isn't a gift from Hydaelyn, it's what allows you to hear her in the first place.
And that's why the Echo wasn't sealed away by Midgardsormr! It's something we naturally awakened to, and isn't directly tied to Hydaelyn!
