The "story" behind allied races is just legion content, to fully unlock them you need like 5 additional quests that are low effort(prolly will be the same for bfa), then for highmountain taurens and dwarves they almost copy pasted the tauren and dwarves options...
Meanwhile they could have blended the options to make your tauren look like a highmountain tauren,your dwarf to look like a dark iron dwarf (could still lock it behind content), and add more options, it's just depressing to see how many clones of my bloodelf I see, because of the lack of options, and the game still lacking some ridiculously basic features (like hair not disappearing when equipping a hat, or bad clipping)
