Yeah the legion general left behind a sizable force, it doesn't change the fact that the empire itself ordered their forces back. There was a good reason for that though, to crush the Dominion army in Cyrodiil, which ended the war. They weren't withdrawn without reason.

Not to mention, the reasons you gave are all the actions of one man, Titus Mede II, who is now dead. He did some pretty bad things, but I'm not willing to write off the Empire just yet. If his successors keep up his trend, then yes.
