It's often firmly constructed around some sort of super advanced tech and society, written by people with no actual clue about either

"good" sci-fi will be boring to the average person. If you want a boring as fuck "good" sci-fi story then read "Inherit the Stars". The issue is that there is no antagonist and that biological science eclipsed 1970s knowledge by now it's weird to read about alien encounters with such limited discussions of molecular analysis.

This is the problem, not the discussion of the tech itself but the fact that the stories are vehicles to showcase hypothetical places technology could go. All the best and most interesting sci-fi have used those hypotheticals to explore the human condition, the tech is a means to a human end and not the end itself.
See Dune, in which none of the minutia of the tech is explained and you could give a fuck.
