Why is the horde more popular in WoW?

The Horde's popularity in World of Warcraft stems from a mix of powerful racial abilities (especially for PvP), compelling "outsider" lore, popular races like Blood Elves, and the snowball effect from top guilds and streamers moving to the faction for competitive advantages, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of player migration and community preference. Historically, Horde racials like Undead's Will of the Forsaken were dominant in PvP, attracting hardcore players, and this trend continued as more players followed the meta, leading to a larger player base and easier group finding.
