First let me say I can find nothing wrong with you conclusions. Extremely well thought out. But (and there is always a but) I think your premises about elves only apply to the “wood elves” to use the D&D terminology. “High elves” are described as having huge beautiful cities of marble and other flowery language.
I would assume that a high elven city would still have its respect for nature, big into green technologies/magics, sustainable growth, recycling etc. this could explain why their cities are always described as gleaming. (Using clean burning fire elementals instead of coal/oil/wood means no soot all over the place like in human cities.)
I would love to sit over coffee/beer sometime and argue this one. Its sounds like fun!
