i guess it's because they feared the potential of the Dragonborn who was created by their most favored god Akatosh.Now since the ruler of Tamriel is a non-DB well you know the rest.....right......

what do you think..... Every time the Aldmeri Dominion has been formed (three times in recorded history) it has always included the Altmer, Bosmer, and Khajiit. After the dissolution of the Dominion, their provinces have dealt with events such as the War of the Isle, the Five Year War, the Camoran Usurper, the Beautiful, etc. The Aldmeri Dominion was the most stable power in Tamriel, but since becoming part of the Empire their provinces became much weaker and less unified, so any rebellion against the Empire would have been crushed. Now that the Oblivion Crisis has weakened the Empire, those povinces have united again and the Dominion is as strong as ever. I'm sure having a Dragonborn Emperor was a factor, but overall it's a bit more complex than that.
