Which in all honesty leaves a lot open for Bethesda to bring them back in some capacity. Between Dragon Breaks, Chim, and literal time travel there’s a lot they could do not even getting into the other metaphysics and metamagics in the setting.
For those who haven’t deep delved EUSP I shall list what the three things I listed implies.
Dragon Breaks, a dragon break is what happens when time becomes non linear the fun thing is that it can be both retroactive and postactive. The ending of Elder Scrolls 2 Daggerfall is sometimes theorized to have caused a dragon break so massive that it basically rewrote the setting with its shockwave. This is admittedly just an in universe way of explaining retcons.
Chim, basically a character in the setting achieves awareness that they are infact fictional and becomes effectively a god. Tuber Septum achieved partial Chim caused a dragon break and removed the jungles of Cyrodil from history. Also Vivec achieved Chim and Dagoth Ur fucked up the process without removing himself entirely.
Time travel, basically what it says on the tin. Fun fact Pelinal Whitestrake was from a different timeline and was basically the Terminator.
Yagrum Bagarn, the only living Dwemer to appear in an Elder Scrolls game so far.
Also the last living Dwemer. Motherfucker was in a different dimension when the Dwemer vanished
Last living one we know of, at least.
