It may also be because it's easier to write crunchy-detailed Pyramid-style articles about things which can be the subject of rational detailed speculation (i.e. TL9 technology), as opposed to things where the speculation has perforce to be a bit broad and hand-wavy.

Also, I think that everybody has their own idea about what TL11+ is likely to look like, based on varying degrees of speculation, hope, hidden superscience assumptions, and favourite SF show or novel, and these don't tend to be very similar. So writing generic material is hard.
