This is why I don't like to type too much at a time. Stuff gets brushed over. I acknowledged this. The thing is that if range is one of the things you're talking about, you do not weight range that strongly. It's not nearly as important to you as other aspects of technique. So how is having a wider range better technique than the things that you weight much more heavily? That's the question. You'd need to explain why a wider range amounts to better technique even though that's not at all sufficient for you to like someone more than a singer with a more narrow range, but who exhibits other technical factors that appeal to you much more.

Whoever appeals to you more does so because of the sonic qualities of their voice, in context, re how they use their voice, etc. Those things are technique. So you'd need to explain how other qualities of technique are better to you despite you not liking them as much. --I say that the very idea of that is incoherent.
