The Lord of Minas Morgul wrote: The Indomitable wrote: Let's face, it, power corrupts, and even though Gondor is strong under Aragorn, and his heirs. It is still weaker than what it once was. Especially after Aragorn's death.

The same principle applies to Elves after the dawn of the Fourth Age. It was said in every case that he brought back the dignity of the kings of old, meaning that it was as strong as it was before, otherwise it would have said he came close but could not succeed to restoring Gondor's former glory, not that he did. It's citizens were shorter, and lived for far less time than he did. Most of it's former knowledge was lost, whole provinces were gone, the Palantir's were destroyed, and some of it's greatest settlements were ruins. Same with the north.
