Elites and Prophets were the first to forge the Covenant. It was more about tradition and honor than strength. That is partially why the Elites were PO'd when the Brutes replaced them, the Elites felt they had no honor.
Pretty much this, because at the founding of the covenant between the Elites and the Prophewts, the Prophets agreed for the Elites to guard them, while they investigated artifacts. If the Prophets did decide to use Hunters as honor guards, they would be breaking their contract with the Elites, who would probably rebel against them for their honor.
