As far as I know the ingame lore states that the Psijics did not care to comment on their disappearance, and there is no ingame lore that states wether the Dwemer disappearance was an accident, punishment or choice. It's all just speculation.

But think about it: If the Dwemer were the remnants of the Aldmer, and the Psijics follow the 'Old Ways' (Obviously Aldmer ways) both of them probably involve mysticism. The Calling is likely proof of that, plus the fact that most Dwemer automatons seem to be powered by soul gems, and soul trapping used to be part of the mysticism school. It's not a giant leap to assume that if the Psijics could willfully disappear the Dwemer might have done so too?
