The only part of the equation you have any control over is the quality of your own work, and when you see others who value technical expertise over compositional sensitivity, you can choose to take it as an indication of what you intend to do and avoid, rather than something you need to be deeply offended by.
The internet is full of amateurs who fetishize their gear, as well as many very talented people, and there's no shortage of material for you to get worked up over, if that's your thing. If you're truly concerned that this is endemic in the tech crowd, and that concern comes from a place of compassion as opposed to judgment, you can always write your own tutorial on photographic composition -- think of how many people you'd be helping! On the other hand, if it makes you feel better to put others down for what you perceive as their artistic shortcomings, and offer nothing in the form of advice, one might get the impression you're trying to compensate for your own insecurity at the expense of others, hence the tepid response here. As an artist you stand to lose nothing on account of the creative decisions of others.
