It's in the prophecy that you're the first Dragonborn in centuries when you play Skyrim. That's all part of it, and we can't call the Elder Scrolls, themselves, liars. . . I mean, it didn't come from M'aiq, lol.

The Septim line, in accordance with the prohpecy that was active during the Oblivion Crisis, was a family bloodline blessed by Akatosh after the foundation of the Empire to watch over and protect the mortal realm and all of Tamriel from evil. Uriel Spetim was descended from Talo, himself, and thus shared the Dragonblood. That is, the bloodline of the blessed Dragonborn that was Tiber Septim. The Amulet of Kings was a magical item only useable and wearable by those of that exact bloodline. While nothing outright states that Uriel could or could not, there are plenty of things that point to the ideas that he couldn't.
