As far as most people are concerned, the Thalmor are simply authoritarian ultraconservatives that aim to conquer the world and revel in notions of racial supremacy.

As for the Towers I do think they're something that should be expanded upon, but as far as I'm aware (barring the possibilities that White-Gold was reactivated by Martin, and that Snow Throat either wasn't deactivated or was reactivated by the Last Dragonborn), there are only Green Sap and Adamantia left. Although I'm legitimately curious how on earth the Thalmor would deactivate Adamantia. Green-Sap is a tree, so that could be... well, burned. But destroying the Adamantine Tower wouldn't destroy Ada-Mantia, because it's stone was the council that took apart Lorkhan. So, frankly, its stone is more metaphysical than physical and, therefore, might not be able to be destroyed as it's... not exactly there.

And anyway, Snow-Throat's stone was said to be "a Cave", so the whole mountain would likely have to blow up for it to be deactivated.
