Surely the tale of the Falmer is one worthy of no small amount of sympathy, but what they've devolved into are little more than feral, savage, dumb, blind animals with a very, very crude understanding of basic weapon and armour crafting. They lacked the understanding to recognize those members of their race that did not lose their intellectual capacities, and instead ironically killed off what represented the best hope for their species. They cannot be a power on the stage of nations as they quite literally lack the basic intelligence to comprehend what a nation is, let alone form one again. They have been breeding out of the sight of the civilized races of Tamriel, yes, but numbers alone do not translate to power when they lack organization, training, quality of arms or armour, tactics, strategy, and so many other vital necessities to might.
