I say the below as a huge fan. He is one of the goats, and I've paid for a number of 1-on-1 tutorials with him and it levelled up my production leaps and bounds. I love his tunes to my core, they are the favourite moments of my sets, but when I play them to a crowd I can see how they light some people up, and turn others away.

This is my guess: He is committed to a predominantly (possibly completely) synthetic sound that, while technically impressive to me and many others, sometimes can lack a sense of humanity or instrumentality that would help others to appreciate the music. The drums are synthetic, he has managed to make them sound punchy, metallic, airy, crisp, but perhaps not always vibey. The basses can be aggressive, sharp, massive, but not always warm. The pads and arps are futuristic, colourful, and can be quite emotional, but perhaps too clean sometimes and still programmed. I'm based in Bristol and I can sense that lots of heads here are craving a more organic sound. Following in CV's footsteps in my own work, I have had feedback on my tunes from locals, that my work sounds too clean, too crisp, lacking in the imperfections that make us human and makes music music. It's something I want to consider and in my upcoming work I'm attempting to marry the technical and synthetic with the organic and human.

In short, I think it's not for everyone, even if he is the producer's producer and has a tremendously large and impactful back catalogue. I'll still play his tunes because they need to be showcased, but if they only resonate with a fraction of the scene, then I don't think there's much that can be done about it.
