So basically -- no, there is no reasonable explanation. It's absurd to write a storyline where any civilization, even one that has outlawed AI and computers, wouldn't advance technologically in 10,000 years. I've heard it was loosely based on some of Brian Herbert's follow up novels, which would explain that.

Yeah in Frank Herbert's Dune novels there is progression, but strong resistance to computer-type technologies. The Tleilaxu and Ixians are continuing to develop things. Brian Herbert's books are the ones that have the "nothing has changed in 10,000 years" mentality including the same families in the same roles.
