Well you certainly aren't missing anything. I usually hope when I go out that I will hear djs playing a good variety and cool tunes that I'm not familiar with, but far too often it's the same old cliche dsp stuff.
You seem impressed that people are spinning idm out, well don't...it's usually no better than sitting at home and listening to records (or mp3s). Most of the djs don't have a good sense a flow and their sets don't vary a great deal in bpm/style, etc.

I have tons of records to spin, but theres never "idm" nights here that
have djs. The only nights that happen are all live acts.
