The East has just always been tougher at the top.
The East sees the top teams as "tougher" because they have more cupcake games at the bottom. Play a bunch of crappy teams, then when you actually have to play a good one it is easy to say to yourself "wow, these top teams are tough"
In the West you have more tough games. It doesn't make the top teams any less tough than the the Eastern ones but with fewer cupcake games they don't enjoy the same perception.
People think Eastern teams are better because the top teams stand out more from the bottom teams, leading to the perception of "tough" teams.
