Some stats:
East:
Average Wins: 40.2
Median Wins: 43
Range: 35
West:
Average Wins: 41.8
Median Wins: 46
Range: 44
East a little more balance than the West because East's shitty teams better than West's shitty teams.
The West is more congested with respect to teams in the middle (median), so that's what drives competition for its 8th seed.
The East and West are similar holistically, when it comes to competitiveness as indicated by the average. If you take out the outliers it would favor the East more.
As a result, I don't think you can definitively claim that the East is shittier than the West.
