I don't think I can agree with what you've said here. Yes, it certainly is true that techno doesn't have verses and choruses but a lot of techno certainly does follow the four-bar or eight-bar or sixteen-bar musical form that pop/rock/hip-hop follow. You can even point out bridges in some techno tracks. But I don't think this is bad per se. It's what a well done track does with these forms that is important, to me at least.
