Anyone else find the Night Elf quest to get them to fight for the Sunwell a bit hypocritical?

Okay so hear me out...

I'm primarily an alliance player. Love the alliance alot, but I was finishing up Midnight's quest the other night where you have to go get the Elves at Bel'amath to come fight for Quel'Thelas, and I couldn't help but notice how hypocritical the Night Elves are being in that moment. This is what? Their 3rd? 4th World Tree? Yes, the sunwell has been a beacon to the Cosmic Forces since Warcraft 3, but... so have the world trees. Bel'amath? Yeah I could see the Void attacking it. I could see Death attacking it. I wouldn't even be surprised if the Lightbloom were to attack it.

Point is, they're just as complicit in the cosmic forces that fight Azeroth as the High Elves and Blood Elves are. And the whole time they were talking on it, I'm staring up at the world tree going "Uhhh.... that up there is a danger too, Shandris." It's supposed to be a rallying moment for the elves. They're coming together! But put your money where your mouth is, Shandris! Stop growing world trees!
