as much as we love them and they love the fans, i think they seem to be happy doing what they want rather than what we ever demand they should do

I agree, too, as what you're saying was kind of my point for starting this thread. UW have continually changed their approach and their output has expanded from improv-heavy gigs to multimedia to, as you correctly point out, a cultural touchstone on the global stage. Perhaps the only time they played it safe was "AHDO", as that wasn't much of a stylistic departure from "Beaucoup Fish". Having been a dedicated fan since ~2001, i've seen/heard their evolution live and caught up on the rest through the back catalog, countless concert recordings.
We all have very strong memories and emotions with certain periods along Underworld's career, and yeah, i would like to relive some of that magic again, but i am definitely looking forward to whatever's next. Plus, it's fun to speculate...
