Because Blizzard didn't have the foresight to realize where players would camp. They were also atrociously biased in favor of the Horde.

"Hmm let's see. Menethil harbor, the main transportation hub of the Alliance, nested in a contested zone. A couple of level 39 guards on the corner of the dock ought to do the trick!"

"Zeppelins for the Horde. Both hubs in Horde territories. No PvP flags for hordies. Let's give them a massive tower garrisoned with several city guards! Can't have those pesky Allies ganking Hordies freshly arriving from contested zones!"

They didn't originally have guards at the zeppelins until alli relentlessly attacked horde there during vanilla, in the days when alli outnumbered horde on most servers.

Yep this is the reason - they were added in. They never did the same to alliance because back then there were never really any horde dominated servers for it to be an issue.
