You're making a lot of assumptions. For starters the biggest advances the Dwemer have ever made have been used to torture and kill, not better the lives anyone, even themselves, in Tamriel. Second, you're assuming that no one is trying to improve technology, when it is very possible that influece from the outside prevents it from advancing.
