There are a lots of technologies in Dwemer caves, the Jarl's Hall in Markath have electrical lights. Why no one ever tried to discover how they work? I mean, every single person trying to uncover the secrets of the dwemer are mages. MAGES.

It's not like Skyrim is a land of dumb people, they have 100% of literacy. Also, they exist for a long time and no one ever dared to ask why they don't put it general use. And it's not like for the control of people in a North Korean style, is it just because they never wanted to?
