The NCR's biggest enemy is themselves and the game does a pretty good job of telling you why and how. If the courier doesn't solo carry the NCR and do all it's dirty work it's assumed the Mojave chapter either gets owned or will likely spread itself wayyyy too thin. The NCR makes its own enemies and there's no need for a comparable faction to resent them.
There's a list of factions that NCR oppose (Khan's, Followers, BOS, the independent towns) mainly due to NCR's aggressive expansionism however writing them in a way to band together would probabaly be ridiculous but it can be done through an independent playthrough
The point is that it is ridiculous. That should be the driving conflict of the game and not american liberals vs. Retvrn Primitivst death cult vs. Donald Trump with robots.
The other regional superpower is used to legitimize the struggle and force the tribes to work together. But then the conflict arises from people worrying that this new superpower would just replace the NCR's imperialist ambitions.
New Vegas has lib brainworms that people just choose to ignore because its overshadowed by the world building and sub-narratives.
