Well Natsu is the main character, so it's obvious that he is focused on. Like Dragon Ball focuses on Goku, One Piece focuses on Luffy and so on. The only reason why we feel like there's too much focus on Natsu is because Mashima doesn't do stuff like the ones Kishimoto and Kubo does for Naruto and Bleach, extend the story with fights/plots for other characters.

For example, during the 4th war in Naruto, Kishimoto went to detail every fight in the war thus creating a feeling that Naruto isn't being focused on while the entire thing is actually still focusing on Naruto. Then there is also the long flashbacks arcs, once a long flashback starts, it diverts completely from the main story, thus creating another feeling that it does not focus on the main character.

In the end, it's just the write-up that indirectly brings out different thoughts towards a story. Mashima well he doesn't go detail on most fights and the fights are short about 1-2 chapters as opposed to others who can go 3 or more chapters for a fight, he doesn't do long flashbacks and the time he gives other character spotlights are short, so it makes it feel like the story focuses too much on Natsu.
