It could just be that after trying for so long without major success, the elves think capturing hammerfell is not worth the trouble, which is justifiable, because it is just desert. They may be able to send heaps of troops there, but seriously, is it really worth losing soldiers to get a country that's just desert? In addition, the alts can't bend the will of the redguards. They may have brought the bosmer abd Khajiit to their cause, but the redguards? Ridiculous. So, the outcomes of capturing hammerfell: No troop gain, heaps of dead soldiers, no economic gain, more land to defend against the empire.
