Literally everything you say TM is equal to GP is through house ruling, meaning its not in the actual rules so how can that make them equal? That means GP improved those areas and TM had to have rules changed.Also Tech tracks can totally be competitive at times racing for an advanced tech or the Lost planet or the fed token it depends on the races and game state but I have had multiple times where timing mattered and taking that a advanced tech early was necessary even though waiting one more turn might garner more points.
Your second point doesn't make any sense either just because there are more spots doesn't mean that certain spots are not fought over. sure if you take the ore power action I can take the credits but I may have preferred the ore. Also the QIC actions are crazy competitive in the final few rounds every game.
