Usually, at least in the last decade of expansions, the initial raid content of the expansion is made up of 2 raids that complement each other.
BFA had Uldir and Dazar'alor. 17 bosses
Legion had The Emerald Nightmare and The Nighthold. 17 bosses (Bonus Trial of Valor 3 bosses)
WoD had Highmaul and Blackrock Foundry. 17 bosses
MoP had Mogu'shan Vaults, Heart of Fear and Terrace of Endless Spring. 16 bosses
Cataclysm had Bastion of Twilight, Blackwing Descent and Throne of Four Winds. Measly 12 bosses
In Shadowlands, we had Castle Nathria with 10 bosses. Sanctum of Domination was added as the second raid and I am sure there will only be one more raid, that will soon be announced and thrown onto the PTR, that will conclude the story with the Jailer. I seriously doubt they will add two more raids in Shadowlands.
That means they will have given us as much raid content as in WoD, where they only added one more raid after the initial raid content.
WoD, with Hellfire Citadel, had 3 raids and 30 bosses. An average of 10 bosses per raid. It was an expansion they gave up on. Every other expansion had more raid content and more raid bosses.
In Shadowlands so far, you got Castle Nathria with 10 bosses, Sanctum of Domination with 10 bosses and if the next raid is going to be the last raid, and also has 10 bosses, like the other two raids, we are looking at an expansion, that had the same amount of raids and the same amount of raid bosses as Warlords of Draenor.
Let that sink in for a while.
It's not so much the fact, that we've only gotten as little raid content as in WoD. It's the fact that Blizzard is getting away with it without anyone having noticed it. Because they've spaced out the two initial raids more and more over time, because they need some time in between them to breathe, that we're now at a point were people don't even expect two raids released together, or at least closely together.
