This is some hot revisionist bullshit. Draenei were one of the biggest retcons in WoW's history. They were in WC3 but not in any way the same as they were in WoW.
In WC3, they were exclusive to Outland being lead by Akama, and all of them looked like the now called Lost Ones. There were also Eredar, who were known in lore ad the guys who corrupted Sargeras and they looked the same as we know them. They had no connection to the Draenei at that point.
Come BC, the Eredar are retconned as a race that was corrupted by Sargeras, and the Nathrezim became the race that corrupted Sargeras. The Draenei became Eredar lookalikes that were all about good, and Akama and his people became the Broken who looked nothing like either form. The original model then became the "lost ones" who are corrupted past even the Broken and are barely acknowledged in the game at all.
The Draenei we know in WoW are 100% original and in no way shape or form resemble the ones from WC3.
Sethrak and Vulpera aren't even in the game yet, plus gnomes could be replaced by dwarves and there wouldn't be a single difference narratively. If anything removing them would make the lore better but that's just me throwing out wild unfiltered opinions.
The worst part is that you can't unlearn it, it's stuck with you.
