it is important to note that toward the end of his career, especially when he enjoyed a massive budget from Prada, Lang was THE show to watch every season
these days people will say things like 'Dries never puts out a bad show' or 'Vetements is cool when they aren't straight ripping off margiela' but no single brand has an extreme dominance of the intellectual market, to the point of where other brands are copy pasting their ideas for seasons later
Valentino straight ripped off Astro parkas at the end of last year, for instance. 16 year old garment !!
Biker jeans, which got filtered down through fast fashion quite recently, were released in their form as we see them today in 1999 by Lang.

As for those claiming it's boring, maybe his later works from 2001-2005 are more to your liking. Lang was self aware enough to see that his minimalism was over, both intellectually, and that people were expecting something of him, and his following seasons adjusted for this

the best bit about Lang for me was how he could accentuate masculine and feminine shapes without showing bare skin in the obvious places
the bondage straps are placed so perfectly as to create sex appeal, but the outfits remain sophisticated
