Accepted lore is that Elves have a long lifespan balanced by a very low reproductive rate. Not only is the number of Altmer less, they cannot make up losses the way the relatively fecund Argonians can.

The Altmer would lose a war of attrition; the geography of Black Marsh would ensure that that would happen.
