I think it's because they don't try to be something they're not.
They're not really price constrained, they do all they want to do regardless of price.
I suppose they don't go for other things like speed / bass response etc. What they do have is universally liked midrange capabilities and really good timbre.

That's kinda why I don't like them, they have like two strengths and the rest is very meh.
Three blob, very little separation, very narrow and closed sounding, everything kinda smears together and sounds hollow. Mids sound good, timbre is decent, but it lacks on everything else.
It's just far, far too little for me. I can get good mids and timbre with some EQ, I can't really get the rest without absurd measurements that we don't have an a convolution filter.
