Why cant a dataset which was built using Tabular editor be downloaded from Power BI Premium service
Because the service does not know how to compile a unified PBIX file when once the BIM file that contains all of the model definitions has been modified via XMLA endpoint. There are a lot of causes of this - editing via XMLA ENdpoint, turning on large dataset (that splits the BIM file and the actual dataset into two), data that has moved through deployment pipelines, etc.
When you upload a PBIX and don't touch the dataset - other than to refresh it - the service is able to rebuild that PBIX. Once you modify the dataset though via a number of ways, the service doesn't have the code yet to recompile the PBIX. It is on the list of things to do, but has been there a while and no idea when it will be possible.
That will tell you the differences bcdobbs but it won't populate the PBIX with that info. ALM Toolkit only does "supported operations" on PBIX files, which is for the most part, measures. It won't create tables, shared expressions, calculated columns, calculated tables, or relationships.
