Curious how D&B did or didn’t get co-opted vis a vis like white “tekno”

Got totally co-opted, particularly around the early 2000s, where the dominant sound is heavily synthetic and hammering, the soul really stripped out of it. But there was always that side strain that retained the R & B / soulful focus, like the stuff Fabio (& Grooverider to a degree) championed. Not sure how things are now, though, haven't really paid attention to it in years, because I became bored with its direction.
