Are there any other Opeth fans here that don’t really otherwise listen to death metal?

This might be an odd question but it only just occurred to me recently that despite absolutely loving Opeth, most especially Old-peth and their heavier stuff, it’s odd that I don’t really tend to like death metal in general. The only exception I can think of is Death, and even with them I only really like their later, more progressive albums like Symbolic.

Don’t get me wrong I listen to plenty of heavy music with growls, but but most of it also usually features some clean singing or variations in the songwriting style other than outright death metal. Which is probably why I was drawn to Opeth in general. It had me curious if that was at all common with other Opeth fans?
