Because the Empire's army is massive and composed of magic users And so is the Stormcloak army, your point? The Stormcloaks are far smaller becuase Ulfric will only accept Nords (Dragonborc excepted) due to his extreme xenophobia. Most "true" Nords dislike using magic, so there is a much lower amount of magic users in the Stormcloaks.

I don't dislike the Nords, my latest character is a Nord who uses two handed weapons with no magic/enchantements.
