No one else wants to try to create the devices the Dwemer had. Most of the people that might be able to could probably just create a magical device with the same function. For example, why create steam powered centurions when you could just summon a daedra and bind it to your will? Why create artificial lighting when they can create magical lighting that will last just as long? The Dwemer were considered blasphemous, and trying to replicate their technologies might feel to many people like blesphemy as well.
