The no-code license allows priveliges in most of the amateur

Yep.

So the big question is why aren't those bands crowded with the
Technicians? It is worth noting that the 6 meter band is open to
Technicians also. So they can get some HF like action also. But they by
and large don't.

Many coded Techs are quite active on 6m. Most no code Techs are not.
In fact, most of the no code Techs I encounter are on 2m or 70cm
repeaters only. Once almost never hears them on simplex frequencies.
They stick to FM and aren't heard using SSB or CW on 2m or 70cm. Around
here, most no code Techs are not active radio club members. Most do not
partcipate in ARES groups. Most are not members of the ARRL. To sum it
up, it seems that most no code Techs are about 2m FM repeater use.
