If everyone could just CGI in things instead of innovating new techniques and methods of story telling, well, it would just be horrible…and, in many cases it is.

I’m not disagreeing with you, but do you think it could be said that CGI is an innovation in itself? An innovation that has become something people now rely on.
I do think that a lot of directors just use CGI because it’s the thing to do. I absolutley agree that “lack of” promotes creativity. Interestingly enough, you mentioned that QT is from that school, and Robert Rodriguez has said the same thing. Funny how that same mentality is pursued so differently by the two.
