With night 1 not having anything, that's actually smart on Scott's part as the new phone guy's exposition pretty much runs the entire night and really serves as a kind of "sandbox" tutorial in so far as you can learn what everything on your own while tons of exposition (bring a shovel mech) can safely be dumped to the player without fear of Springtrap pulling a foxy much like how people would easily get jumped by Foxy in the previous two games due to listening to Phone Guy.
Personally, I feel that FNAF3 is the most successful of FNAF...as a prototype. It's a trilogy made on a shoestring budget and very basic coding, but to Scott's credit each iteration has been an example of testing the limits of what he can do. The first one was testing the concept as a whole, the second was testing how much both the game and the player can handle doing at once before it becomes more tedious and annoying instead of actually scary, and the third was completely stripping the concept down and rebuilding it to see how far it can be taken with just one actual animatronic - but not necessarily said animatronic being the only thing players need to worry about jumpscaring them. This honestly could become the next Portal - a game that was more of an experimental game than anything else (everybody knows the game doesn't truly start until you get your reward from GLaDOS) and got full Valve funding for the sequel which was amazing in every way).
