they become too lazy to think by themselves and follow the chieftain blindly (at least, from a staunch Elmali's PoV and understanding of the enemy ways).<

Antoher guess might be that Elmali clans are more likely to resist the Yelmalio religion, because their god is not 'second string' within such a clan. In Orlanthi clans, resentment by Elmalians that their god's leadership in the Darkness is 'forgotten' may have tempted many toward Yelmalio instead. YMMV.
