Here's a mindset: "Since the last of the Septim bloodline was murdered 200 years ago, the blades no longer has a purpose to protect the emperor, for Talos incarnate is no more." or "Talo's bloodline is no more" some bullcrap.
The empire represents the law, and their law now bans the worship of Talos. This can be considered a direct insult to the last "true" emperor. Therefore, the blades no longer has a purpose to serve the current Imperial empire.
Keep in mind, the blades not only protected the emperor (who represents Talos), but they were dragonslayers. They have a new purpose now.
