Considering that everything you mentioned is unlikely to have any consequences whatsoever, as is generally the case every time the Alliance does something... less than heroic, we can safely write them out of the equation.
Not only the entire Alliance leadership, with the sole exception of Tyrande and maybe Malfie, is fawning over Anduin, but also all of the Horde leadership as well. The only two characters (Rokhan and Talanji) who reject Anduin's ideals of white peace are written as unreasonable, stupid warmongers.
It isn't as odd when you consider that Sylvanas was pretty much the only OG character remaining (aside from Bob and Thrall, who are currently non entities and are likely to remain so) in the Horde, only to be turned into a crappy remake of Garrosh.

Some people mistake predictability and good writing. Yes, Andy is consistent and predictable, but that doesn't make him any better. After all, all (non evil) Mary Sue's (or Gary Stu's, if you prefer) are consistent and predictable, since the world is written around them, not the other way around.

Yeah, Saurfang discussing deep historical issues of the Horde with the leader of the enemy faction, out of all people, was one of the most facepalm-worthy moments in the entire story.
