The Stormcloaks have a better chance taking on the Aldmeri in Skyrim rather than the Empire on an even field. The Empire doesn't care about Skyrim. They lost the great war the first time around, what makes you think they won't lose again? Elves could probably fight an easier war in Cyrodill than Skyrim for geographical reasons. Skyrim has a better chance on it's own.
