When Tolkien wrote LOTR, I think he wanted the elves to be exotic and creatures without faults. Compared to the Sil, there are few elves in LOTR. In the Sil they are the dominant race, and I think he made them more human because it would make the story more interesting, and because they were no longer exotic beings, but rather everyday stuff.
