All of that is extremely old lore, and of course it comes from wow wiki, which is really dated.
It is relevant really only to classic players, because they would still be using that lore.

The answer is no, they do not.
The people against expanding the ranks of Warlocks are totally ignorant of the lore and they do not care about the lore - they just want to play as Gate Keepers with their head canon.
Blizzard disagrees, and says all races can be Warlocks. Deal with it, wannabe Dungeon Masters.

Yea, be always skeptical of demon blood on first date.
Just look at what happened on Draenor.

Well thatâs you then.
The only thing thatâs going to get me not to play is a total shut down of the game.
A race class combination opening isnât going to do that.

Sometimes, peopleâs behavior and and their race have nothing to do with each other. Actually scratch that caveat. Thatâs always the case.
You canât just put all the people of one race into a bucket and say âthey all behave this way and these beliefsâ. Maybe that light forged Dranei had their faith broken. Maybe they turned to dark power for a good reason.
Maybe the orc was weak, low in orc society and jumped at the chance to get any kind of power. You never know why people do the things they do. But what you can be sure of is that their race has no bearing on their values or deeply held beliefs.

Exactly, peeps donât seem to understand a character thatâs a rubber-stamp copy of their origin culture is hella boring. Good characters are made from considering their cultural origins and deciding how much to retain and how much to abandon.

It isnât just the cultural part. The current lore (which hasnât been altered yet) would involve having Draenei devolve and Magâhar Orcs turn green after being exposed to fel. If they want to tear apart the lore at least own up to it and retcon these things or find a way for it to logically work.
Is it too much to ask for some creative writing?

That kind of falls on the players themselves to come up with. It can be âIâm just that goodâ or âI found/made this talisman/artifact/thingy that protects me from those effectsâ or âIt actually takes a bit for those effects to set inâ or even âI practice mantras and meditation to stave off the worst effects.â
Pick one of those or make up something else beyond that!
Player characters are exceptions; they shouldnât need to abide by lore.
An entire race/culture isnât going to shift because some individuals chose to take a different path.
At best those individuals simply become outcasts.
