This is because Afghan royalty were still stooges of the British. They depended heavily on British and other Europeans for their pampered lifestyle (similar to the Pahlavis of Iran.) They had no care about Islam or other Muslims, and were ready to backstab their own for a profit.
They were content with letting former FATA, Sarhad/KPK, Hazara, and Punjab go to the British and even helped them suppress the Muslim rebels. One regent even helped the Sikhs, lol.
Instead of taking their anger out on the British occupiers, they instead unleashed fury on Quaid e Azam and the Muslim League for doing what they were incapable of, freeing Muslim land of the Indus valley from Kuffar occupation.
Thoughts?

Hey bro, perhaps I can give a proper history of Afghanistan and also a brief history of the Khilifat movement, so that all here may understand properly in the context of truth rather than how it is typically viewed.
Afghanistan is positioned in the heart of Asia, back when Britain and Russia were the superpowers of the day, they both contested for power and influence. Britain was focused primarily in South Asia, meanwhile Russia in Central Asia. Afghanistan had the best of both worlds, South and Central Asia, the Pashtun half belonging to the South and the Tajik half belonging to the North.
As you are well aware that back then there were no borders, and both Super powers of the time were very well aware of the Thucydides dilemma, so they did their utter best to avoid having contact with one another, which is why the borders of Russia stopped at the Oxus river, and also the reason why they added the Wakhan Corridor to Afghanistan so that they both don't touch one another's border. Afghanistan was to serve as buffer zone, although the British did try to take it over on two different occasions, but failed.
Back then there was no sense of nationhood for Afghans as there is today (early 1800s and 1900s), and tribes vied for power. The British after they had overwhelmed the kingdoms of India started to expand outward into Sikh and Afghan territory, and they were revered by both Sikhs and Afghans, Dost Mohmmad Khan entertained their envoy Alexander Burnes whom he ended up having a close friendship with, this was the beginning of the "Great game" that first appeared in Afghanistan.
In this period, Afghanistan was not called Afghanistan, but rather the "Kingdom of Caubal", when the British realized that Pashtuns referred to themselves as "Afghans" did they call our location "Afghanistan", and so the borders were drawn, and divided based on geography between the Russians and British to have buffer zone in the middle.
Afghan kings tried to have a good relationship with the British in order to maintain power, and this started with first Amir Abdur Rahman Khan and later his son Habibullah Khan. Habibullah's son Amanullah Khan tried to annex the Pashtun areas that were forcibly taken by the British, but this came to a failure because of British superiority in discipline and gun power, the British gave us the right to decide our own foreign affairs thereafter, but Afghan kings thereafter were for the most part dependent on the British for money and support.
At that time, there occurred the Khilifat movement within the British Raj, and many Muslims travelled to Afghanistan, but were attacked by Pashtun tribesmen on the way, the king Amanullah accepted some of them, but sent the rest away due to lack of resources. Many of them settled in Kabul.
When the British left, we Afghans needed a new client of which we tried to get from either the Americans or the Russians (Soviets). Do consider that Afghanistan is a landlocked nation without industry, manufacturing, retail etc... All we have is farming and are missing the former three, the Americans denied us this, and the Soviets were willing, but you know the history of that and the bloody coup thereafter.
I can go into more detail about this, but I would have to write a 10-15 page essay, but I believe this brief is sufficient. But you are right for the most part, our regional history is a sad one, and some of us were either taken over, or were dependencies.
Our future in my opinion can be bright if there is a merge, and this is what one wise Afghan understood, but for some reason the Pakistani Prime minister at that time viewed this with suspicion for reason I don't know why... https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP80R01443R000300080015-6.pdf
