Well of course this is all speculation. But still, invading Highrock by sea would mean going through Redguard waters. The Redguards are the most skilled sailors among men, and would surely put up a very good fight. Let's not forget that the Bretons aren't going to sit back and let the Thalmor take Highrock. These to factors combined would make invading Highrock very difficult, especially considering their nearest base is Alinor, thousands of miles away.
