The dude is genuinely smart. When it comes time to dive deeply into a technical topic, though, he never really puts in the main channel videos because he knows he's going to lose 90% of his audience at that point.

No it means he knows his audience. He does broadly interesting projects, but doesn’t lose them in technical detail. For many people it’s mindless entertainment, but for some it will inspire them to look more deeply. Then, as you know, there are other info sources with more detail.

There many axes to quality. Technical detail is just one.
