You make some good points, I would just like to add that in lore Elves reproduce much slower (correct me if I'm wrong, but an Elven women would be lucky to have around four children), so while they are very powerful soldiers and wizards, and they live a very long time, they suffer major casualties in a battle they won't be able to replenish their numbers very quickly, this happened in The Great War, and is one of the factors as to why the Redguards managed to famously hold them off, another thing I would like to add is that a portion of their country is still devastated.
