I think Jo has dropped numerous hints that House Elves are very, very
powerful magically. -- In some ways maybe more powerful than Wizards.
And that makes me wonder if the reason House Elves have been enslaved
all these centuries is because Wizards fear their power, and so feel a
need to keep it shackled, possibly with some massive
House-Elf-specific variation on the Imperious Curse.

I think the situation will change when the vast power of House Elves
becomes instrumental in defeating LV.  This I think is when Hermione
will be vindicated.
