Well the Detroit techno movement validated them for a new generation, you have to condede that. Half these kids into them are too young to have been around when Kraftwerk were releasing records in the 80s. I am only surprised as I've read interviews in which they do express just that kind of affinity and heard stories to support that assumption. I think production costs would be a factor. As I said, I don't know the story so it's speculative anyway.
