It may not be the absolute worst, but unlike Nord or Argonian which still have certain niches they excel in, Redguard have no real reason to be used over others.

Redguards are great tankstheir stamina return is awesome
Exactly. Redguard at least has a use-case, as it is focused on stamina. And sure, they are not good in terms of racial passives, but at least they can be used and are more or less viable option.Argonian all the way. As had been said above, redguard may be bad, but we have to spend gold to be bad.

Orc have first racial skill for heavy armor, which can suggest they are designed to be tanks, but all other passives make them DDs. It's bit confusing, strange and inconsistent especially for casual gamers, who might try more endgame content later. After ZoS U29 we have 1 BiS race for DD in each alliance (Orc, Altmer, Dunmer). We have MEH races (Redguard, Nord, Argonian). Sadly, two pointless races are in EP.

People liking Redguards as a people is a real reason.

Redguards are great tankstheir stamina return is awesome
2 problems with this:
1. Lore: redguards aren’t supposed to be tanks. They are supposed to be weapon masters who are scouts and skirmishers even going as far to be unmatched in guerrilla warfare. Being a rank and file solider (tank) is the exception, not the rule.
2. In game: Imperial and even nord are considered to be better tanks (though nord could still use a slight buff) ult gen is still overall a better passive to have and the imperial’s cost reduction applies to everything including block, break free, dodge and etc
