Well, that fits what I wrote a couple of days ago that peshat yeilds
mussar, whereas derashah yeilds halakhah, and to generalize therefore,
Nakh, which has no derashah is a collection of Mussar ("Prophetic
Judaism").

Also, while Dayeinu mentions that the Chassidishe experience of just
being at Har Sinai would have been enough, lemaaseh HQBH didn't stop
there. He provided both the experience of national nevu'ah AND matan
Torah.

Tir'u baTov!
