I can't say "technical quality" to mean "technically good or bad"?

You can. If you talk about a game's "technical quality," it will be clear what you mean by that. Then people will be able to argue with you about whether or not they agree with your message.

Words mean what people mean when they say them. Generally speaking, it's clear what someone means when they say a game is "objectively good" or "technically good," especially if they say literally anything else at all about it.

Like if you're going to argue something is objectively bad, then you should be able to discuss the objective metrics that make it bad instead of just saying so or saying enough people agree to make it so. Otherwise it doesn't actually enhance the conversation and becomes a word that leads to topics like this.

Well then the proper response is "what objective standards are you using?" If I call something objectively bad and leave it there, I probably think it's self-evident.
