I don't think I've ever seen that many views on a set.

Most times that the 7327 Scorpion Pyramid shows up on these lists, it's because there's a reddit post about raised baseplates where it's pointed out that this was the last set to include them. If you go look at the top posts of the week on r/Lego, I'm sure you'll find one about raised baseplates.
Not sure about the other two. If I had to guess, there was probably a reddit post about the tensegrity structure in the Ninjago set. No clue about Breezeway Cafe through.
I remember Breezeway Cafe from when I was a kid, that was a fun little set. A nice modern day medium-sized restaurant is 41379 Heartlake City Restaurant
surprized no said 60333 Bathtub Stunt Bike yet

71771 was from this Reddit post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/comments/17ad5ay/on_a_scale_of_1_to_10_how_illegal_are_tensegrity/
6376 is also from Reddit, mentioning the technique used for the lights in the rightmost arch:

@snaii: I've often wondered if that technique would be considered illegal today. Even its remake, 10037, is twenty years old.
What do people mean by legal/illegal in a LEGO context?

Check out Google or better yet youtube with that question, you'll get plenty of answers that wouldn't fit in a comment section here.

On the contrary, it's quite easy to describe simply: A technique that does not provide a stable connection and/or places undue stress on the pieces.
