Using every tool in the tool box seems objectively better than only using one tool in the tool box.
If someone wrote a C++ or Java program only using "if then" statements with no objects and ignored objects, case statements, while statements, for loops with conditional exits, etc., I would judge their code to be worse and their mastery of the language to be lower on an objective basis.
If someone writes an adventure with a tool kit that has 7 tools and they only use the one tool over and over, I objectively judge their mastery to be lower. I agree that whether the adventure they create is fun or not is subjective.
A wider use of tools is more likely to result in a better scenario however. I say that from experience writing adventure scenarios for decades.
