It could be that they have not yet appeared ingame properly as the 'snake-men' they've always been called because -

a) in many instances they'd be virtually indistinguishable from Argonians. I'm fairly sure it'd be impossible to tell the difference on Alduins Wall for example.. (Also i believe Esbern said the wall was made by the 'Akaviri,' not the Tsaesci specifically.)

b) their appearances in Oblivion and Skyrim so far have been the 'Akaviri,' not the Tsaesci. 'Akaviri' typically refers to the race of men that resides/resided in Akavir, not necessarily the Tsaesci themselves. As such the Tsaesci may not have made an actual appearance yet.
