Techno I guess is more of a specific subgenre where as EDM is now the main general term for the genre. I dunno, man. I always hated hyper labeling shit.

EDM is a blanket term for a ton of non-ambient genres of electronic music.

"Techno" is a blanket term for generic, accessible electronic dance music that contains a lot of expected motifs and cliches.

EDM is an umbrella term that stands for Electronic Dance Music. So that covers everything from techno, house and trance, to future bass, drum and bass, and dance-pop (there's far more, but we'd be here all day trying to list them all). It's also worth pointing out that these genres were under "Electronic Music" before the term EDM was popularized.

I think the problem though, is that if people don't know the specific subgenre, they'll just call it EDM. I see a lot of dance-pop and house songs simply called EDM.

The problem is needing to always hyper classify shit.

Otoh there is so much damn music that hyper classifying makes it much easier to find shit you want

Yeah, this. There are songs that I never would have found it it stopped simply at EDM or Electronic. Being able to search specifically for something like "Liquid Drum and Bass" or "Deep House" has helped me find some real gems.

I think it's the opposite. You can easily make techno music that isn't meant for dancing at all

Techno just being itself another word for "Electronic" where in you've got a genre where the instruments exist only as a digitally synthesized sound. Electronic Dance Music is Electronic music with a dancing beat.

Noise is a separate genre of music unsurprisingly.
