I'm assuming it's because The Thalmor didn't have power in Morrowind, but do you think they would ban Tribunal worship if they did? I know the Dunmer had started worshipping Azura Mephala and Boethia now, but I'm sure there are still groups somewhere in Morrowind that still worship the original Tribunal. Either way, y'all n'wahs need Vivec.

Because worship of the Tribunal largely ceased after the return of (the) Nerevar(ine), and either way it doesn't affect their goals. As I said, the Thalmor leadership don't care about people worshiping non-elven gods: that's just the narrative written by their secretive inner circle, to both keep their enemies in the dark about their true motives (and thus prevent any attempts to truly stop them) and to stir their more conservative citizenry into zealotry with the whole Elven Supremacy bit. The only reason the Thalmor sought to ban worship of Talos was to remove his influence on Nirn, as it stabilizes creation and prevents them from destroying it.
