I think you're sort of wandering away from what people mean by "good technical writer" when you start talking atmosphere and character development, though. There are people who know the nitty gritty details of what a story is supposed to have, but it doesn't necessarily mean they can do it. Most prolific readers know of stories where the writing is accurate and all the elements seem to be there but for some reason it just doesn't work.

Conversely, there are people who are quite good at telling a story, but rubbish at the technical bits so their sentences are all over the place, there are POV jumps and run ons, etc. All of those things can and do detract from the overall quality of a story, but there are still stories that can transcend the technical flaws and suck people in. Most prolific readers know of a story like that, too.
