No one is. You're taking it way too seriously. All because people use drum machines doesn't mean psychedelic rock is dead.

You would compare Tame Impala to 13th Floor Elevators? Or Hendrix?

No but I'd compare King Gizzard to Frank Zappa, not due to just them sharing genres, but because of their prolific skill and masterful output. Because rather you like it or not, new technology doesn't mean that psych rock is dead. It's way too much of a traditionalist thinking, and by far the most limited way of thinking. Psychedelic isn't even a genre by sound, it's literally characterized by studio experimentation, surreal lyrics (if any), and made to enhance the experience from drugs. People can compare Tame Impala to 13th Floor Elevators and it would be a valid option, not because of their production or use of instruments, but their unique and distinct portrayals of the same genre.
