My understanding with DVC at the moment is due to all the banked points last year they are doing everything they can to get people to use them. I believe you had to book some new cruises using points? I don't have DVC so I don't follow it that closely. I think they would keep the DVC early registration in order to incentivize using those points up.
As for AP I think it depends on what their analytics tell them about the profitability of AP holders over race weekends. If they know AP holders that come to race weekends spend less on average than non-AP guests there is no financial incentive to offer early AP registration where the less profitable customer takes the place of a more profitable customer provided they expect the race to sell out. Personally I think the loyalty of AP holders should be more important than the slight loss in profit but that isn't how Disney works.
