Why does Bethesda only hire Jeff Baker in DLC?

So, Oblivion came out, with the terrible shared elven voices, and I missed the old Dark Elf voice, so I wanted to here it again.

How surprised I was when Desmond, a ghoul in Point Lookout shared the same voice, and this gave hope that Skyrim would have it to.

Although Skyrim is amazing, and definitely a callback towards the older elder scrolls (pre-Oblivion really) despite some of its annoying design choices, I was still a bit miffed (though I acknowledge its a petty thing) that they didn't have the Dark Elf voice still, though they chose a better one this time. They even did the E3 bait and switch again that they did in Oblivion.

Now I hear a certain NPC from Morrowind is back, and watching a video, lo-and behold, he is voiced again by Baker.

So how come this guy only seems to get used for E3 and DLC now? Note, this isn't a major complaint, just a really weird observation.

I remember hearing something about him not doing core projects since Morrowind?

But Skyrim is like 400 years after the Oblivion crisis.

I meant in terms of feel to me. It just felt more ES-y than Oblivion did, for me (I know not all share that opinion).

Also, 200 years.

Please, commune all you can with the poor soul. Your mind will be blown with where/when he was and how he got there.
