I always found tech demos pretty dull
For me, what makes good programming is interactivity, not 'look how fast I can render this animation'. Sure, it's impressive to squeeze a few microseconds out of a low-end machine, but getting it to work interactively is a very different business, I think.

Tech demos are full of that kind of stuff as it happens
that's why they are "tech demos", developers show off their skills not only with animations. There's quite a few cool games come from the scene, one I remember playing was a tech demo of a rag doll effect, you had to see how injured you could get this guy by pushing him down some stairs.
