As I already explained, the two brands are voiced differently.
Post-Dickie, B&W has gone in a bit of a different direction. Even though they still use some of his ideas, they've gone in the direction of rising tweeter response ever since they introduced the diamond tweeter models. And in some models, like the 802 and 805, they've given them a little bass boost as well.
I agree with you that it's the sound that counts, and the technology is a means to an end.
When I heard the Giyas, they didn't sound like recent B&Ws to me. They sounded more like TAD. Or Magico with a little more bottom end and wider soundstage.
Follow Ups:
I am not really referring to recent B&W - I am referring mainly to 90s and 2000s B&W - I didn't care for them. The only post 2017 model I have heard at any length in a fair room is the 805. Your explanation perhaps help me understand why I disliked it so much more than I remember.
For me the Giya was brighter than TAD and Magico.

Agreed and a bit more treble, too, but not much.
