I'm not a writer, but Michael Kirkbride and the other Authors who write those obscure texts are not writing flavor text. Anything that MK writes has somekind of meaning or message behind it. Take the Commentaries on the Mysterium Xarxes as an example. They may seem like insane-babblings written by Mankar Camoran, but he mentions (and explains) several obscure things like the Mnemoli, CHIM, the Dreamsleeve and many other things. The Loveletter From the Fifth Era also seems like weird stuff which doesn't make any sense at all, but it not only explains the dualism of the Aurbis, but also the true purpose of Tamriel and how the Aurbis can be saved from Landfall.

The Seven Fights of The Aldudagga explain how Mehrunes Dagon was created, why there are different Time Gods and many other things.

As I said, I'm no writer. But those texts are no flavor text. All obscure TES texts have some meaning to them, or else Michael Kirkbride wouldn't write them.
