Wherabouts? I know there are some outside of... Tel Vos, I think. Maybe the proximity to the Telvanni is the reason?

Otherwise, it's probably just a gameplay mechanic for the creature spawn list.

There is daedras in most places in Vvardenfell.
And my guess would be game mechanics as well as they're near Daedric Shrines.

First of all, Telvanni often deal with Daedra. Aryon lets hostile daedra wander his tower and Gothren has Dremora bodyguards. The other consideration is the fact that they're far from Temple and Imperial influence, where both Daedra worshippers and "rogue" Telvanni can summon to their heart' content. And some probably escape their summoners' influence.

Gameplay and story segregation, I'd say.

Wasn't there something written in MW about the Daedra being summoned and abandoned?

There's more of a history of Daedra worship/summoning in Morrowind than in most of the other Imperial provinces.

The explanations I can think of (take your pick).

#1 - Most of the ones around Telvanni regions are long-term summons or permanently bound servants of the Mage Lords, meant to protect ancestral tombs, personal property and artifacts from unworthy adversaries or travelers.

#2 - Perhaps these Daedra are holdovers from a time when the Good Daedra were worshiped. Having been summoned long ago in large numbers, many of them still exist to this day. Knowing now the rigors of age or disease they persist in remote areas.

There's lots of "wild" Daedra wandering around Azura's Coast and I think Molag Amur.

In Morrowind, both worshippers and sorcerers summon lesser Daedra and bound Daedra as servants and instruments.

Most Daedric servants can be summoned by sorcerers only for very brief periods, within the most fragile and tenuous frameworks of command and binding. This fortunately limits their capacity for mischief, though in only a few minutes, most of these servants can do terrible harm to their summoners as well as their enemies.

Worshippers may bind other Daedric servants to this plane through rituals and pacts. Such arrangements result in the Daedric servant remaining on this plane indefinitely -- or at least until their bodily manifestations on this plane are destroyed, precipitating their supernatural essences back to Oblivion. Whenever Daedra are encountered at Daedric ruins or in tombs, they are almost invariably long-term visitors to our plane.
