I can't really blame them either. They apparently do all the work and just wake the Queens and various other leaders up from nappy time, feed them, then put them back to bed.
They probably think they should be running things and it wouldn't surprise me if intentionally letting the other's tech stagnate and break down is part of that long term goal. Queens in general seem to be arrogant and smug in their position and unlikely to appreciate the actual crucial value of the sort of tech support the Keepers provide them. They're just repairmen who do all the dirty work her royal highness can't be bothered with after all. Since the keepers are Wraith themselves, and we know at least some of them are also females/queens, it's likely they would resent being treated in such a way given the reality of the power they know they hold.
The whole "lets see how smug that ***** is when her hyperdrive breaks down between star systems" idea.
Or when they swap and compare stories about how "I can't believe I actually got that dumb ***** to believe that 1 reactor was better than 14"

I've been fond of a lot of different potential origin stories for them over the years. There is definitely something missing from the modern Wraith to make them a credible threat to a galaxy full of ancients though, especially since they supposedly only started on one planet.
They should have actually done the reverse, with the Wraith ships and troops being qualitatively superior and the ancients having the greater numbers. Then the Wraith building a cloning machine would have made much more sense as a death blow as it would have removed the only advantage the ancients had.
