I'm pretty sure it's for the same reason that people love them, i.e. they're cheesy and self-indulgent - which, I mean, are pretty much prerequisites of the power metal genre.
That and the whole "they recorded their parts slower and sped them up" thing, but they pull it off well enough live and as long as they're not lying about it I don't think it really matters
Drum and bass artists use computers to make fast drums and just play back recordings at concerts. They can't even play drums! Or bass!! Their fans are so dumb for liking fake music... /s

Your comment reads like this is a fact about them and something they've owned up to. It isn't true and they've consistently said as much. They record at the speed the song plays at.
Good to hear. That was a rumor that spread around quite a bit when I was a teenager, the last time they were relevant for discussion, and I never checked it because it didn't really matter to me if they did or not, I still liked the music. Next time they're relevant for discussion I won't spread it again
Rhapsody (I refuse to recognize the addition of "of fire") isn't bombastic, for them their music is absolutely serious 😄
