That's probably a bit misleading. Back in the day, there used to be almost no benefit to being friendly with any of the goblin factions besides some XP and a bit of gold. Also, Blizzard stated numerous times that they will not implement anything that could permanently "damage" the characters.
An interesting comparison would be to that of two centaur factions in desolace - you have to pick one or the other. What if at some point one faction suddenly became involved in some very important quest lines? And you happened to pick the wrong one?
Sure, the comparison is not exactly precise as we stand today, but back in the day the benefit of being friendly with either goblins or friendly with bloodsail pirates was pretty close to the benefits of the centaur factions - aka none.
