Not because it’s bad, but because it was so ubiquitous. I love that about late 90s and early 00s games. Examples: ace combat 2, klonoa. I just find it interesting, a thing of the era for sure. Do you remember any other games that had this type of music?
Movies from that time period also had a lot of drum and bass tracks.
It was a (relatively) new genre in the late 90s and it works well for energetic scenes and gameplay.
GTA2’s Funami FM had some drum and bass influenced tracks. The GTA2 intro movie used drum and bass in a way that’s very reminiscent of the time period:

GTA3’s MSX FM had some top notch drum and bass tracks from the legendary (by electronic music standards) Moving Shadow record label.
TJ Rizing - Agent 007
Unreal Tournament 99 had drum and bass tracks.
Michiel van den Bos - Forgone Destruction
System Shock 2 also had great drum and bass music.
Eric Brosius - Engineering
I wish this trend of using drum and bass tracks would become popular again, it’s a such good fit for intense/energetic scenes and gameplay.
It’s also great for that cold and clinical, yet psychedelic sc-fi ambience (like the Engineering track from SS2).
