The Dark Mechanicus is more than likely is more technologically advanced than everyone else, but 1, they are not likely to share the good stuff, and 2, as a result of this dangerous technology they themselves probably fall prone to lots of workplace accidents. The Black Crusade rpg books talk about lots of cool chaos technology. The reason this stuff isn't seen across Chaos as a whole is because traitor forces don't necessarily work as a team. They are just as likely to attack another chaos faction as they are imperials, given certain situations.

They keep the good stuff as chaos is dog eat dog and soon as you sell it, could be used against you.
So they keep thr best stuff for selves, for protection and ensuring that say a war and does not renage on payment.

Bear in mind, Chaos forces don't share well, and are perfectly happy to raid, loot and kill each other.

Chances are, when a Magos of the Dark Mechanicum die, the majority of their knowledge and research dies with them.

Lol given there freaky tech die is a word that can mean not quite the end.
But yeah. Chaos is very does not play well with others.
