A Rebbe writes for his flock in a way that is not subjective: based on where they are at.

Chassidus is abstract and practical. The Tanya’s objectivity and clarity is why it’s accessible to everyone. It isn’t an opinion or a series of examples—it’s the soul of the entire Jewish people in book form. The objectivity of the tzaddik is what makes it so practical.
