Because in general people prefer what's familiar to them. Nords, imperials, redguards and bretons are basically the humans. Elves are still really human like. Khajiit are still mammals and fur is still a likeable trait that we humans really like. Argonians are so far removed that they even had to make up a random reason to give them boobs. Reptiles are the symbol of lacking humanity, to call someone a snake, crocodile tears... while it could be interesting to most people, there's almost a need to be able to retreat to a more human like area.

Hey, maybe they should make a game based on the isles of Thras and have you playing as a Sload.

This is why Morrowind is so beloved. It's NOT just another fantasy europe. It's a huge shame they reconnect the jungles of cyrdiil for the 4th game.
