Because, by the time of Ganondorf's execution, there is no evidence to suggest that they have been there for very long, just as there is no evidence that they had already become the Twili. It's all speculation on your part.

The Shiekah. I don't believe them to be Twili, but they were almost completely eradicated by the time of
OoT.
Also, how do you know there were no recently eradicated races? We don't see these races because they were
recently eradicated. It's impossible to say there were no recently eradicated races, because we have no way of knowing that. That's because they were recently eradicated.

Correct. Just as nothing of the cutcenes in
TP indicated that the Twili had already been there for a long period of time. We never see them until after Zant's attack on the Twili Royal Family.

I'm not combining anything about the Gerudos into this. I don't believe for a second that the Gerudo are in any way related to the Twili. The only clue is the altered Gerudo symbol on Zant's cloak, which was there even before he met Ganon. That's it.

Both events were wars fought over the Triforce by the tribes of Hyrule after word of the Sacred Realm started to spread. The backstories are similar enough that you can almost ignore the very little detail that the spiritual stones were in the families for generations. The developers likely didn't think that they would have to include the pendants as a story element for
TP's backstory, so that inconsistency can be somewhat handwaved by saying "they just didn't care."

So what? They didn't succeed in getting into the Sacred Realm anyway. They were stopped by the Light Spirits. Lanayru simply tells us that they
hoped to establish dominion over the Sacred Realm. The pendants are irrelevant in this sense. Sure, they wouldn't have gotten into the Sacred Realm without the pendants, but that hardly matters, because they didn't get into the Sacred Realm anyway.
