Tell me, for the Nier Raid content and story... what did we have more story and character development for? Dwarves or Nier?

That's why I agree the Nier story was disjointed and disconnected. It was kinda there. You barely got to know 2P, 2B, and 9S.
I honestly wanted 2B and 9S to explore parts of the world with the WoL for this crossover for a bit, but we got the Dwarf twins instead.

And the archive data you collect for story bits don't count. Say what you will, but at least the past Raid stories were consistent and self-contained with their premise. I got to fight Nier/Drakengard enemies... neat... but that was mostly it.
