In response to the "no weak orcs" argument, I think the reason for this is the orc's placelessness. Let me explain. From their birth as a race, the Orsimer haven't had their own "country" (like Nords have Skyrim, etc). They've had to survive wherever they could set up strongholds. As a result, only the strong orcs survive while the weak die very quickly.
