Two words: Blame Akatosh.

It's all his fault for being fragile enough to be uncoiled and cause massive large scale violation of causality (read: dragon break), his fault for giving the soul of a dragon to certain men, mer, or beastfolk for whatever reason, his fault for making Alessia a dragonborn to some extent and at least partially his fault for making an oath whose immediate results soultrapped the suddenly dragonborn into a soulgem-equivalent Ayelid-manufactured amulet that became the Amulet of Kings, his fault for actually using Martin Septim to punch Mehrunes Dagon out of Nirn as opposed to letting a certain daedric prince take over the world and thus make it that prince's problem and anti-apotheosis trap, his fault for bestowing his bow to his chantry as Auri-El, his fault for putting the Heart of Lorkhan in Red Mountain or something (Uhm, he shot it there, right?), his fault for making a shield that can bash with explosions, his fault for creating the dragons, his fault for Alduin, his fault for creating every dragonborn around one way or another, and his fault for everything else Akatosh ever did!
