My implication wasn't that the Core Hound looks cooler either, it was that OP is picking mount rewards to make the Alliance look worse. I'll admit that 3 horses for 3 factions is boring, but they're hardly the only mounts you'll get through BfA. Not to mention that the current allied race rewards are faction rewards aswell, we've yet to see how we'll obtain the DI/Mag'har ones, though.
Look at it like this, a lot of raptors have been datamined and we just got 4 raptor mounts in Legion, Horde got 1 raptor in WoD, 4 neutrals in MoP, 1 neutral in Cataclysm and 2 Horde ones in LK, noone is gonna complain about that because they're not the only mount rewards, though. By noone, I obviously don't mean literally noone, you always have people who'll complain about anything. Still, my point is, you look at the bigger picture, you don't cherry pick. Cherry picking can make anything look worse than it actually is.
Would just like to say that, for now, the Mag'har wolf mount is actually a unique model.
The horses are more of an overall horse model update that applies to all horse creatures (without armor) in the game, including the worgen rep mounts, with the BfA rep mounts being that model plus reused armor from the felsaber mount or Cata's storm drake mount.
This would be more like if the Mag'har wolf was instead a WoD wolf with the armor of the Vicious wolf.
Seeing these shitty horse recolors throws me back to WoD, although to be fair, during WoD Blizz at least fucked both factions over equally in terms of unique mounts.
I have 12 Alliance alts, that leaves little time for piddling with another faction.
Keep in mind I do have Horde alts, but all my gold and all of my friends are on the Alliance side. I may eventually use my free boost on a Horde character, but right now it's not a priority.

Cherry picking and whining? Ye sounds like an Alliance player.
But really, rep grind for the gear. Not just for some silly mounts you clearly don't like or care about, right?

They should just flatten the back out and slap a saddle on this and then make it a Drustvar rep mount.
That would be more equivalent to the blood tick from the Talanji's Expedition rep than another horse with reused armor.
The Stormsong rep could give a crab or an albatross mount (I think this actually exists but has no source yet) since they're a sea-themed faction.

Fits the lore.
Why would humans have any other mount than horses?
