I disagree on that assesment on almost every aspect of your statements. For example that Williams’ Star Wars score is not atmospheric. It is also melodic and operatic

That’s actually what I said, so I am not sure what you disagree with? Of course Williams’ STAR WARS is also atmospheric, just like Zimmer’s DUNE is also melodic. The difference is a matter of degree, of emphasis.

Maybe we can agree that Zimmer’s Dune is in comparison “only atmospheric” because it misses all the other aspects of good film music that Williams provides in addition.

My assessment was basically that Williams’ music is more classical and operatic, whereas Zimmer’s music is more atmospheric and elemental, that’s the differentiation I made. I purposely avoided any value judgement of “good or bad” or “interesting/uninteresting”, because that is obviously subjective.
