I always had the headcanon they don't want another Arthas incident so they agree with every human prince to dodge another vader situation and that likely explains why everyone is nice to him. In a more serious note I think if Golden stays in the writting, then he is likely getting the role of Saurfang with trying to "redeem" his faction since Yrel with a lot of her army probably outnumbered him and kick him out of his throne because he was weak but now he is a "strong non toxic male" ready to deal with the glowing goat.
Honestly the flanderization of the factions has reached to insane levels that things like that we would hate or see as fanfiction(Empress Yrel with Lightscream taking the alliance or the horde disolving itself) are more interesting than the current storyline the writers had written and likely will continue
