I don't know man. Alduin is a pretty powerful dude. He can travel to Aethirus and possibly other places at will, and is a possible Aedra. The Dragonborn didn't even absorb his soul. Why I think it is a sound theory that his intention wasn't to eleminate Mundus completley and establish a Dragon ruled regime onto the other species, the Greybeards are an order that is particularly Nordic, being founded before St. Allesia forms the official Eight Divines, and what I mean by this is that they may still worship the ancient Nordic Pantheon, and see Alduin as their god of Destruction, giving an explanation as to why they would not help the Dragonborn at first, as an act of loyalty to their god. In the Nordic pantheon, Alduin was a firestorm that annihalated the first world, and returns to seek the annihaltion of this one, and according to the Greyb eards, let the next world be born again, in accordance with the last two destroyed, as a cycle of life and death. However, luckily, the Dragonborn stops him the second time around. So pardon me if the term "World Eater" is misleading.

Destroying the Cosmos is Cosmically important in my book. Real world definitions, as I have explained to a Man of Steak on my Season Finale, and real world sciences, don't always apply to a world that is up to it's neck in magic and monsters. You gotta think around the bend here man.
