I think most of this discussion on DX11 falls under the heading 'What if?' (or less charitably: 'crying over spilt milk')
We know that they planned to include DX11 just as they planned to include dynamic weather and a dynamic campaign.
And just as for those features they were essentially defeated by time constraints.
So, while DX11 will be a worthwhile addition (both visually and performance wise) when it happens, for now there is not much point arguing about it.
Regarding Tree's point about Ubi still advertising DX11 - that just underlines what a shambles Ubi are - and the generally bad communication between devs, publishers, buying public - Oleg still thinks the game is releasing everywhere on the 25th apparently!!!
Lastly - Blackdog made the point that Steam statistics on DX11 cards may not be representative of their wider use. I'll also point out that a percentage of people with DX11 cards will not be able to run DX11 games because they're still using XP.
