Agree with all three before me. The Oblivion Crisis wasn't so much that there was a way to and from the planes, but instead that it was out of control. By your logic (OP) prior to the crisis when the Dragon Fires still burned, we would not have been able to have all the dealings with the Deadric Lords and Princes and beings that we were having. For that matter, conjuring wouldn't have been possible, and wouldn't be again. There is but a thin veil that seperates the Tamriel from the other planes of existence (Oblivion included), the Oblivion Crisis was a crisis because the veil was torn away entirely.
