Technically when The Nerevarine fought the tribunal they were no longer gods, The Nerevarine only defeated an aspect of Hiricine rather Hiricine himself, and The Nerevarine was unable to slay Dagoth Ur outright so he had to destroy the Heart of Lorkhan to kill Dagoth Ur and reverted the Tribunal Gods back into mortal beings.

Hero of Kvatch didn't really help defeat Mehrunes Dagon other than suggesting to Martin to use the Amulet of Kings as a weapon and clearing out the dremora from his path. Martin Septim fought Mehrunes Dagon, not the HoK. HoK only defeated Jgglag with Sheogorath's power which transforms him into the new Sheogorath.

The Dragonborn didn't completly kill Alduin, seeing as he couldn't absorbe his soul but also Aedra tend to be weaker than Daedra Princes
