In PBEMS, the other human players are likely to make it harder for you to get the free techs - by trying to avoid being infiltrated (shoot those *(#$!in' probes on sight) and minimizing or at least delaying the sharing of techs (particularly those that are important and/or that you are currently researching yourself).
As long as there are healthy AI players in the game, there is probably a good chance of getting free techs, but by the time you get the infiltration, the AI's (and maybe some of the humans too) may already be going downhill, and so probably won't be getting any significant number of decent techs.
Obviously, the same sort of thing happens with the PDL.
Personally, I find the CyCon techsteal ability to be more beneficial.
