There will be very little Imperial influence in Black Marsh as the Empire never held the whole land. They only ever patrolled the border because none of their men could last long enough deep in the marshes. Black Marsh is the most inhospitable area we know of on the mortal plane.

As for Beth being too lazy, I don't think that's the answer - nor do I think they jsut up and forgot. It was only recently that we started seeing the Redguard armor in detail. We saw a hint of true Nordic armor in Morrowind with the Bloodmoon expansion, but that game was mostly basic stuff and Dunmer sets. I would look for them to keep adding more and more as time goes on.
