The styling panels may not have structural purposes, but to me they make a
Technic set somewhat more attractive. The reality is that very little in the
real world is just grids of structural members, there are decorative (or
functional) pannels hung over the structural members in almost every
real world construction.
One of the real reasons though that I suspect that Technic is changing is that
it doesn't speak to most people today. Today, very few people work with
structures in the real world, and I imagine kids are less excited about purely
structural toys as a result.
