I know it's pedantic, but isn't that what the scene at the end of Exoddus was alluding to?
From my understanding, Abe set off for Necrum immediately after escaping RuptureFarms - he is greeted by Big Face, farts, is knocked off the platform where he meets the Weirdos, and then embarks on his trip through the desert with his small crew.
The point I'm making is, Exoddus already is (sort of) the story of the Mudokon resistance, but the timeline is so brief, it wouldn't have made sense for an organised uprising to occur the day after the slaves were rescued.
It's not until the end of the game where he says there are more Mudokons out there, and announces "we're gonna find 'em".

To me the Mudokons as a group have always acted as a bunch of goofy guys with good intentions, wanting to free a few friends but not much else. Abe always seems to go with what others tell him and those others rarely, if ever, have actual long term plans. With the introduction of Soulstorm we see a side of the Mudokons we have never seen before. A serious, revolutionary, almost threatening side that actually resembles terrorism if one were to look at it from the Glukkon's point of view (which fits Abe's title as 'terrorist' much better).
I assume this idea was originally meant to be part of Exoddus as well, but was never fleshed out in the slightest. Which is why ended up with a rather light hearted and almost comical depiction of enslaved Mudokons. The scene at the end of Exoddus is what I would describe as a depiction of hope. Whereas I have the strong suspicion that the final scene in Soulstorm is going to be depicting something much much darker.
