ESO's entire tamriel is different from a single player game's entire tamriel, the single player games would add all the files to your hard drive, the MMO would connect you to the online server that has all the data, it's not saved on your system, it only connects to the machine that does have the data.

On Consoles having all of tamriel would be damn near impossible, think PS3 Skyrim but worse, on these next gen systems.

And The thing with the Khajiit isn't that it would hard to program, or something like that, it's that they would either have to restructure and balance all races(and therefore the entire system), or make only one race of khajiit playable, which would make being at Elsweyr somewhat pointless, what would be the point of learning more about the khajiit race, if pretty much everything you learn is unusable with your khajiit character.
