That is probably true Jimeee the Ayleids as a whole may not have completely worshiped Daedra, yet their leaders most certainly did. It may be more appropriate to say that the Ayeids worshipped both Daedra and Aedra, yet it is certain that it was their worship of Daedra that aligned the Aedra against the Ayelids. "as in the wailing wheels of Vindasel and the gut-gardens of Sercen; and flesh-sculpture, which was everywhere among the slaves of the Ayleids in those days; or, worse, the realms of the Fire King Hadhuul, where the begetting of drugs drawn from the admixture of daedrons into living hosts let one inhale new visions of torment, and children were set aflame for nighttime tiger sport."

"The high and haughty Ayleids relied on the patrons, the treacherous Daedra Lords, to provide armies of Daedra with dead spirits"

- The Amulet of Kings

We know also that there were Ayelid kings who ruled after the fall of the Heartland, one could imagine that these were ones more true to following the Aedric pantheon.
