What makes you think the Thalmor can't make their own heroes? It's not like humanity has a monopoly on being able to dick around with fate. Just look at Nerevar, or literally any player character you might have made that isn't human. Besides. If they could just churn out heroes to solve their problems, wouldn't they have done it *before* the Thalmor sacked the Imperial City?

Face it, the Thalmor are winning. It's like watching a hawk fighting a crippled rabbit at this point.. Short of the Dwemer coming back in their magic steamboat to save everyone, pretty much all the non-elves are boned.
