I think it comes dow to a matter of simplicity. Neptunes' tracks are very simple and minimal.

A lot of people like tracks that are dense with layers upon layers.

Neptunes tracks have very few parts that come in and out at various times but the few sounds they do have are very nicely fat.

I think this is where things are trending for now. Too many tracks with complex layers up layers of loops in the past while. Neptunes stuff is great in the it's usually a simple slamming beat and a few nice parts arranged very tastefully. Less is more.
