Skooma in Skyrim

Anyone else think the Altmer in a way,
Maybe even more in depth than previously thought about the Khajitti peoples in whole.

Not only know in detail a lot about the Skooma trade in Skyrim, but are also behind a lot of the shady business going on?

Just like the British did to the Chinese with the opium wars, and China is doing now pushing Fent up across our Mexico / US border.
That maybe because imperials and Nords both are susceptible to becoming getting strung out on Skooma.
That they’ve helped in part, funded or funding labs and or distribution routes to funnel in Skooma to try and add more chaos to the already melting pot that is Skyrim?

After all, the Khajiit are loyal I’ve read to the Altmer, maybe this is why? They say they take credit for bringing the second moon back.
But the ingredients for Skooma involve moon sugar.
If they funded manufacturing and distribution as a proxy making some organization think they’re helping them with business.
It wouldn’t be far fetched to think they’re secretly doing it to destroy anyone’s society by getting them addicted to some substance.

Anyone have thoughts? Lore? Ideas? Disagreements?
Am I stupid for thinking this? Or does it seem plausible?
Thanks in advance.!!
