I looked this up and it looks like it was just conjecture left up on a wiki page for most of a decade

That doesn't actually disprove what I said - in fact, it supports it.

Because I didn't say anything about the Towers. I said they want to destroy the universe. Because they do. The whole point of undoing Talos worship is to "unbind the mortal plane". Something that post openly acknowledges multiple times.

Essentially, the Thalmor want to undo the physical world as created by Lorkhan so that Mundus will end and the elves can become spiritual beings again. And they view Talos (the God of Men) as an impediment to that goal. So they banned his worship to weaken him.
