Can you imagine what you would have to go through with the Thalmor after that? The new treaties and alliances with other nations, and all of that headache? In an all-out open war, you will have at least one Dragon ally at this point. Odahviing may assist (or may outright betray you), but you definitely would have Durnehviir. I agree it would be kind of inticing and on par with all the other hats one can attain, but in this respect I think I would disagree. The simplest reason would be with all the assorted hats already attainable, mixed with being the dragonborn, it would make more sense to just be the primary supporter of the next emporer. In this way the new emporer would have the support of the College of Winterhold, The Dark Brotherhood, The Thieves Guild, The Companions, etc., including at least one dragon. It also alleviates all that paperwork, deligating it to someone else to deal with, leaving the dragonborn free to deal with pressing issues more suited to his/her skill sets.
