The Dragonborn doesn't want to be High king anymore than Benjamin Franklin wanted to be President of the U.S.  Its too restrictive, what with all the administrative and cermonial duties, not to mention the public scrutiny. It wouldn't do for the High King to pull the kind of shenanigans our "upstanding cirizens" get up to, (Listener, Thieves Guild Master, etc.).

So, no thank you, thank you very much!
