The only person whom Akatosh made into a dragonborn through a ritual is Alessia. All the others seem to get it by birth(or someother way?). Perhaps I am mistaken but if I am, please provide  an in-game lore, a dialogue or any other credible source that specificallly says that the trait can be procured through a ritual of some sort. Alessia won the Dragon Blood through the ritual that Akatosh did for she,as an token in her faithful in Akatosh and the gods.

The others Emperors in the Dynasty of Remans and Septims,won the Dragon Blood by the birth,since they was descendants of Alessia.

Since nobody more can have the Dragon Blood its because the Dynasties that hold the blood died,it can't be more achieved.
