I am no answer. I am the enigma.
To go back to the original question, I think football tech will actually somewhat level the playing field. As data on movements etc becomes easier to share with players I expect it will be harder to find the ‘marginal gains’ at the top to gain an edge/advantage tactically and weaker sides will be able to be much more thoroughly drilled and the game may develop a more Catenaccio flavour

Cynical take is that these advances are often full of false promises - technology producing data that doesn’t mean what the people selling it says it does. “With just a small saliva sample our instrument can measure a range of biomarkers and our AI algoritm will tell you who is physically ready to play in the next game”. Everyone buys it because they are first looking for marginal gains and then second trying to keep up after finding out everyone else is using it. But it adds zero positive value. The more those things establish themselves into the game the more old fashioned underlying fundamentals like raw talent become differentiators.
That said, I think the difference between using it and not using it is also quantifiable, and if you integrate the philosophy throughout the whole organisation you’d also be looking into whether it’s actually working or just a puff of hot air.
I dont think people really understand how full of absurd quackery there is at top level of the sport. Remember the 90s when everyone was wearing the nose bands to help them get more air into their lungs and multiple that by 1000.
Us getting value of being a data driven side is a very rare exception.

Football has already lost a lot of its soul, and it’s still ongoing, especially in the PL. The underlying problem though for me is the money which is at stake, at all levels: massive TV money, billionaires and state-funded foundations owning clubs, eye-watering amounts of betting money, refs being on the paylist of people directly linked to one of those state-funded foundations, which is btw charged for blatant and persistent treachery over the years …
In comparison, minor technical adjustments like VAR can be annoying, especially when badly used, but it’s not a key issue imo, rather a symptom of the aforementioned illness which has befallen top-level football.
As for tech tools being used at the club, it’s just a logical evolution in the current environment. Every club tries to get the extra percent of performance out of the players, and of course, if they think this can help them, they’ll try it out.
