all three of those groups seem like they have a different approach to making music, they're constantly recording and remixing and jamming, putting out albums when they have to more or less. Orbital strikes me as being more like Kraftwerk, they approach things from a more conceptual angle. KW don't have a lot of B-sides either. in fact they have almost none

I don't know - Orbital has extra B-sides and mixes for several of their later albums (really like their deluxe versions and just picked up the Optical Delusion one this week that I had missed a couple years ago around the release, three really good B-sides, a couple mixes from them and a great Plaid remix).
Do think, as mentioned, that they don't produce a ton of extra material like the other groups though, and are a lot more focused in production. May be more a case of the later albums having more time between for them to generate more tracks, and also their early days using up any available tracks across all the singles and EPs then (there were a lot of those happening). They also produce plenty of single tracks in between albums, so seem to work regularly, if not as intensely.
Still a lot more (thankfully) than many traditional pop/rock artists, some of whom only write in the studio during album sessions (which always seemed wild from a budget standpoint).
