I mean I'd just chalk it up to LttP being the most popular, so it's what people know, so it's what people want to randomize/develop randomizers for. There's also a huge overlap between randomizer communities and speedrunning communities, and LttP is a popular speed game.

It's the same deal with Super Metroid. Super and Prime sit at the top of the Metroid totem pole in terms of popularity, and they also have the most extensive randomizer communities. But I wouldn't use that as evidence to say that Super and Prime are technically superior to Dread and Prime 2.

The games people played the most will always get the most attention. It's not any deeper than that

...You think there's a reason why they're the most popular, maybe?

Nobody is arguing they're literally "technically superior," you appear to be the one who brought that argument up. People are just refuting TC, who is trying to argue ALttP "aged poorly," for example.
