By lore the Aedra can be killed, if I remember my readings correctly. They have the power to create, but can be killed. The Deadra only have the power to change things, and can only be banished to return later. So to play as an actuall Aedra would be a bit dangerous for the continuation of the Aedra themselves.

I could be misquoating something here, I'm not 100% sure and will have to re-research some things to kind of double-check myself. That being said, I'm feeling about 70% confident in what I just said.
