As a general rule, yes. But the horde is a lame faction, so be warned.

No lol how you see it is all bias. You lose pvp, so you think the other side is better. You go to the other side, lose pvp, then you think your original side is better.

I dont think it matters as much anymore tbh.
Horde has larger numbers, but that only effects two things imho. Pugging and guild options.
For PVE pugging matters less now with cross realm grouping. You can only be in one guild at a time. So if you do find a good Alliance guild, you are most likely gonna progress at the same speed if you found a good Horde guild.

Horde are not objectively better players.
But there is a faction disparity when it comes to racials that makes it seem like the Horde is better, the Horde has more players than Alliance, it’s not a measure of skill.

Alliance racials are generally better for nearly all forms of content.

why did all the big guilds move to horde those some years ago?

comes with the territory but ya…
So at the higher ends of content, having a constant supply of high end players to pull from means a lot.
This isn’t something that effects the rank and file.
Originally the guilds moved because Horde racials were better. After that changed, the damage was already done. Other “Top 500” type guilds moved to follow the established player base.

I mean, I would 100% expect the extreme top end to be Alliance in m+, given how strong Alliance racials are. Very few of us on the forums are going to target the top 0.1% for m+, though.
I see how you stopped the screen grab to show the Horde playerbase taking over by top 25%. Which really goes with what I was saying.

Neat if accurate thats far closer then I thought it would be interesting.
That says more about you and the players you surround yourself with. Horde has more people, that means they have more good players. They also have more bad players.

Because Beastslaying was insane in ToT iirc.
Not good enough to make the majority pay money to go back. Plus the only people who can make use of them the most are those who get ally characters made from nothing on tournament realms.
So essentially high end horde players get the best of both worlds, racials that were good for a long time (and still are like orc) plus high population. And blizzard made ally characters that don’t cost anything to maintain.
as a bad Horde player I say that checks out.

“Is horde just objectively BETTER at the game”.
Horde has more raiders, thus more people incentivized to do KSM, which is what the 25% bracket is.
Alliance wins the top dog spot though, which is what OP asked.
Cope my friend.
