I also really liked this, because in both Morrowind and Skyrim you were the hero from the prophecies, destined to defeat great evil and unite the land, which felt a bit too 'We want to make this RPG epic, so we're going to make the player an epic hero'. In OBlivion, you were an ordinary person who, by their own courage and great deeds, would become legendary. It made your character feel a lot cooler, because they were doing all these feats of strength by themselves, not because a prophecy said they would. But there is no ELDER Scroll in The elder scrolls IV: Oblivion (I mean in the mainstory) Skyrim is (as far as I know) the only Elder Scrolls game to actually have an Elder Scroll in the main story, so Oblivion is hardly the odd one out. You've a large library in the Imperial City filled with devoted monks and many Elder Scrolls... Why not using it? They were talking about the Main Questline. You enter that Library once for the Last Thieves' Guild quest, to steal an Elder Scroll.
