All that "supports Dx11" tells you is that it doesn't stop running if it encounters Dx11. The language has been used this way since the days of DOS, there were programs back then that supported DOS 3.3, and DOS 3.4, and some (I think) that supported one or the other but not both.
No, it makes perfect sense. Oleg will build in the latest technology, but he won't implement its features for a few years. The thing most people underestimate about SoW:BoB's engine is that it is meant to be used until at least 2017 and is designed for ongoing development.

There are significant investments in the design and technology that we won't see used for the first couple of years.

For me, it is the clouds - the newer atmospheric engine is the big missing piece visually.
