I would probably argue the collection of scenes tell a great story, which is why it’s good. Most Snyder films for example can be visually stunning without a lot of dialogue but the story is terrible that it takes away any enjoyment of the visuals.

Dialog isn't a requirement of a story. Good Boy has less than a dozen spoken lines in the movie, as it's from a dogs perspective. But it also has a very clear story and plot. That's not what I'm talking about. Check out some movies on this list.

That's fair. Non-narrative films are a specific niche though, and specifically not having a story is their identity. You can't judge a film for its story if there intentionally isn't one.
