Because not only are the Special Forces faction (the only pure good guys left at this point) probably going to disown Raiden for his newly developed crueler and meaner attitude to defending Earthrealm, but I think Kenshi and Takeda are probably also going to disown Hanzo Hasashi for being selfish when he put himself and his revenge on Quan Chi first rather than getting the rest of the Revenants not named Jax, Sub-Zero and Scorpion back to life.

All Scorpion has left for his allies is Sub-Zero because Sub-Zero is pretty much the only Earthrealmer who can actually accept and understand Hanzo Hasashi for the rage-fueled vengeful specter he is. According to Scorpion's MKX ending, he was about to commit suicide for his selfishness out of guilt, until Raiden talks him out of it. It is a sign that either Raiden will probably also accept and understand Hanzo for who and what he is, or Raiden will probably start his new plan of action by killing Scorpion for putting Earthrealm in danger for Scorpion's selfishness preceding him.

I can definitely see several of Kotal Kahn's Outworld outsider rebels joining up with Earthrealm (and I mean Raiden's Earthrealm, not the Special Forces Earthrealm), since Raiden wants to invade the other realms and endanger those who Raiden considers to be a threat to the security of Earthrealm since the Elder Gods wouldn't do their job to protect Earthrealm.​​​​

Raiden will probably nab Tanya and Kano away from Outworld and maybe Rain (if he manage to survive past the MKX story mode) and Mileena if it was really a clone that died at the hands of D'Vorah. I don't think Kotal Kahn even likes Kano at all because Mileena paid Kano a sum of easy money to get him to assist her in unmerging Edenia from Outworld, and Tanya is one of the Outworld outsider rebels that Kotal Kahn despises just like how Kotal despises Rain and Mileena.

So with MK11 going for a "blurred lines" Injustice-like approach to character alignments and factions, it'd be really cool to see Tanya, Kano, Rain and Mileena team up with Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Raiden to constitute Raiden's Earthrealm, and so Kuai Liang would very much be the most likely sane rational one because his teammates would all be selfish. Raiden recently became a more ruthless Elder God, Kano is all about the money like always, Scorpion is almost always guaranteed to be a temperamental team-killing loose cannon with Quan Chi's death as proof Scorpion will never change his attitude no matter what, Mileena can be crazy most of the time, Rain is an arrogant Edenian through his Prince origins, and Tanya can also be a team-killing loose cannon much like Scorpion.
