"Since 1E 668, no word had been heard of the Dwemer, with the notable exception of Yagrum Bagarn, who resided in the Corprusarium of Tel Fyr. Apparently, he was absent from the Mortal Plane at the time of the disappearance, visiting an Outer Realm, an alternate dimension. His three thousand years of exploration and five hundred years of investigation have yielded no leads on the presence of his people on Mundus or any other plane of existence currently known." Elder Scrolls Wiki page on Dwemer

That proves that there is no proof of what happened to them was of the Aedra or the Daedra. Besides if the Aedra did do something like that, how come the Empire still stands for getting rid of Talos, who is most certainly a god? Perhaps they teleported themselves to another dimension similar to the Outer Realm, where even now (speaking relative to the date of Skyrim) be preparing their armies to invade their old homes. They would have had years to populate, and have a large army, with technology like Steam Centurions and such, I don't see anyone beating them. It would be a second Oblivion Crisis without the daedra. Though Akatosh did remake the barrier in Oblivion, this has shown to have flaws, like Daedric Princes like Saguine to make direct appearances on Nirn. Besides, the barrier could only apply to daedra, and they the dwemer could perhaps bypass it with teleportation technology.
