It's also possible that not all of them were available at of the development of The Taken King, and so Bungie chose not to do any voice lines whatsoever. Considering the way the internet is, I don't find it unlikely that there'd been outcries if, say, the Awoken and Humans got lines, but not the Exos, or perhaps worse, only one gender of each race were voiced.

Besides what Inquisitor said, there's also Bungie's habit of making silent protagonists. The Rookie from Halo 3: ODST and the Master Cheif from the original Halo trilogy are good examples. Noble 6 from Halo: Reach was a bit more vocal, but not much.
