Well, there's that all too common theory that the Dwemer became the skin of Numidium, as Kagrenac wanted to anticreate and thus fuse all of them into some grand oversoul thing that was a god, but then:

If Kagrenac wanted to do that, wouldn't it make more sense to fuse not just the dwemer, but everything that exists?

Also, if Numidium was controllable, why use your own souls? MK wrote in the name of the grand theatre, but if the Dwemer were so athiest, they wouldn't even care about making a god, because it does not exist. In fact, using the souls of the dwemer is practically hardcore religious fawning over a imagined rapture.

I know MK wrote this, but still, its kinda like a prediction, not an actuality.

They are are also tonnes of other theories like they created some plane somewhere and stayed there, they are all stuck in stasis etc, but most can have holes poked into them quite easily.

I pretty much just go with the belief that Kagrenac did something stupid with the heart, causing it to nuke (for lack of the better word) the dwemer and disintegrate all of them. Maybe he did want to bind them to Numidium and enchanted all their souls, which could explain why all dwemer except the one in the outer realms died. But they didn't bind to Numidium and just got erased/displaced/timeshifted/schroedinger's catted or something
