But he said the alliance quest lines didn't seem to have anything to do with BFA and only Drustvar was decent...but he thought the Horde was a lot more involved and better and actually had anything to do with BFA. But that could be he favors horde, but it isn't the first person I've heard say that.
The mounts do show more effort put into Horde though, at least on that front

The expansion is only 1/2 revealed with the stories on both islands, with another 1/2 of the tale to be told after the 2nd raid tier with Azshara as the end boss.
Additionally, Jaina becoming the leader of Kul Tiras was a story that needed to be told -- the healing of the rift between she and her family. She is going to become the defacto "shade of gray" that the Alliance needs as it struggles with its identity later in BfA -- do they go with revenge or creating a peaceful world? The Alliance story has yet to be told so patience in all things, something I remind ALL Ally players as they try to point at BfA as a Horde-centric expansion.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There are also more unique horses they could have done...but they are literally re-skinned of each other and take assets from things that already exist. Horde get 100% unique mounts...alliance get re-skinned mounts that also re-use assets.
The only horse mount that looks decent is the collector's edition one. All the others in the game are re-skinned asset-copied designs compared to anything horde has. Didn't even make unique horses.
