Another thought I had is that there is an absolute limit to technique. You could, theoretically, achieve perfect technique and never have to work on it again in your life. Strength, on the other hand, is an adaptation that can continue to be pushed until you are too old and start to regress. It makes no sense to me that one would ever stop striving for absolute strength gains.
