Plus tonnes of people would rather capture Tamrielites and unlock the secret to magic than kill them.

Because you know you want magic as well. We have bombs in our arsenal that kill only living creatures, biologically living, and leave all structures and other non-living things intact. If they wanted to just capture Tamriel they could use those bombs and wipe it out the local life.

Then again bombs vs. gods is pretty one-sided. Vivec can stop that bomb midflight, Sheogorath can turn it into cheese, hell even powerful mages can just create a portal to some realm in Oblivion to teleport the bomb there. There are actually countless ways that Tamriel can beat nukes and other bombs.
