I think you're conflating a few different modes of science fiction writing, in a way that's kind of confusing. Wacky space opera and pulpiness is pretty distinct from soft SF and New Wave SF weirdness (which is really what Brunner is writing most of the time, compared to someone like Van Vogt or Gordon Dickson). And it's also important to point out that there was a lot of realistic, hard-ass engineer SF and Campbellian SF in the 50s and 60s, to the extent that it was probably the default self-image of science fiction writing.

That said, I do mostly agree that there seems to be a lack of that. Maybe people have just moved into writing fantasy or horror or non-SFF fiction when they're trying to write those sorts of stories? IDK.
