    Maybe I should say "chinese style western food category"?
Yeah I agree, most of them are "cha chan teng", with the exception of 雅仕閣, IMO.

It is so difficult to run a High End HK Style restaurant in Vancouver,
customer always want steak and lobster which has a very low profit
margin, no alcoholic drink and very little tip.
Sell a decent  3 courses steak dinner, all inclusive for under $20 is
very difficult, with a live lobster for $10 extra would bring in nothing.
You go to Kegs for 1.5 lb boiled lobster cost you $20, and they would
make profit on salad, appetizer , desserts and wine, which is not
likely happen in Cha Chan Tangs. And, the chefs at CCT ask for $4,000
to $5,000 with 50% under table.

Oops.... I got a feeling, not because people can't make high-class 茶餐廳 or 港式西餐廳, it's because this type of thing can't survive long. Lower-end always have a bigger market. lol

I do think they have decent customer base... price-wise is not too bad...around $20-ish for the set dinner, which I found it ok with the quality of food.

Not just that, the restaurants just cannot afford to hire 2-3 chefs proficient in each
category.
Dr. JJ used to boast about his prime steaks, now he concentrates on the
more general and profitable Chinese dishes.
If you have 3 chefs, who would be in charge? how they distribute the resources?
it is a complicate issue

Who's Dr. JJ?
