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. No. Ulfric doesn't care for your race, don't listen to the lies that Brunwulf Free-Winter has told you. If the Dragonborn could only join for gameplay purposes, why do NPCs acknowledge their race multiple times in the questline? I'm not sure why you think that, but it's not true. Nord do use magic, granted they may not use schools like Conjuration and Illusion that much, but schools like Destruction and Restoration and used often.
