You are speaking to a collective that mostly has an aversion to tech death, so what do you expect? I respect musicianship, but there comes a point when time signature shifts, complex arrangements, tricky scales, and sweeps dont necessarily mean better music. As a fan of Obscura's Omnivium I cant say that I am entirely removed from enjoying modern tech death, but I wouldnt automatically put it to the top of my favorites just because 90% of the bands I listen to couldnt even dream of playing it. Alkaloid is occasionally fun to listen to, but unfortunately I get little out of it and the same goes for most bands in the genre.
