It's not just the Dragonborn that can absorb dragon souls, even normal dragons can "slay dragonkind permanently, erasing their existence by absorbing their soul" if they should choose and have the ability to do so. The Dragonborn isn't special in that regard. The Dragonborn isn't supposed to commit Dragon holocaust, it's not like dragons are bad beings. they are the creations of Akatosh himself. The Dragonblood and the Dragonborn have no differences. All of them are born with the soul and blood of a Dragon. How about Reman Cyrodyll? He mastered the Thu'um and he also wore the Amulet of Kings. He was only acknowledge as the first "Ultimate Dragonslayer" because he "can" slay them permanently, not because he should.

The point is Dragonborns are not supposed to kill dragons. Dragons as much as dogs are beings in this realm. The Dragonblood is the blood of Akatosh himself, it is only used to keep balance, like how the Dragonblood kept the Daedra away, how it united the Tamriel, and how it kept The World-Eater at bay.
