The elves and their presence steadily diminishes as the ages pass and correct me if I'm wrong but aren't elves basically revered by people other than dwarves and orcs
Not revered, no. Elves are seldom seen by others, so they have a certain mythical air about them. They are also closer to the Valar, so generally "holier" than men, as in harder to corrupt.
Elves would come off as boring in the eyes of men, or at least frustratingly chill about everything. Elves are like a smoldering ember, while men are like candles that burn bright and quickly.

Yeah when I said revered I meant like mystical and cool because they're other worldly. Bad choice of words on my part
