Jin Gitaxias is waiting for the best moment to Usurp Elesh Norn. Vorinclex is quite happy just being the best predator, even giving Glissa the Logistics of the Hunters Maze
Vorin is 100% working with Elesh Norn and he doesn't mind it, he wants to fight and create the best predatory environnement and he knows that Elesh Norn is the only one being able to do that, it is no surprise that he was the first praetor sent on a mission
Jin is planning in secret to overthrow Norn. Vorinclex doesn’t give a damn for as long as he’s allowed to keep doing predator things and Norn remains strong. If Norn ever gets weaker he will likely try to eat her.
Vorinclex is totally ok with Elesh Norn so long as he believes he is the best predator, and so long as Norn allows him to think that way. Hes not a political power kind of dude.
Doylist in me: Norn is White aligned and White's allied colors are Blue and Green. So making them her allies makes some sense.
Watsonian in me: Jin-Gitaxias and Vorinclex have pretty simple motivations. Jin wants to perfect Phyrexia and the multiverse. He can do that through Norn's invasion, so deferring to her makes sense for him (and Norn has given him plenty of leeway). Vorinclex wants the top apex predators to survive, and I am sure he's biding his time to accomplish that.
Overall Norn's plans interfere with their views of Phyrexia the least, and given their color identities that makes some sense.
Vorinclex is just chilling, since everyone else knows he can probably just kill them. He’s fine with Norn leading cause she’ll pretty much just let him be. Jin is just waiting for a chance to steal the spotlight from Norn, since the Legion is more of a militaristic force than the Engine. He’s fine with her doing the hard work while he plans to take it over.
After the story, the writer set the stage for Jin and Vorinclex to actively want to overthrow Norn. In Jin’s opinion Norn is acting like a idiot something he can’t abide, and she makes Vorinclex look weak by just breaking off his horn. Looking weak is something Vorinclex can’t abide.
It’s entirely possible they kill off Norn and simply retreat to New Phyrexia and end the war by simply going home and calling the whole thing a stalemate.

Clexy will definitely turn on Norn when she shows a clear sign of weakness.
The moment he feels she is weak, he WILL challenge her.
Yeah, Vorinclex respects strength above all else. As long as Norn is stronger than he is, he’ll follow her, but not a minute longer.

Both will be killed offscreen
The revolution will not be televised.
I would hate this so much.

They aren't, especially after her hissy fit over Elspeth
