Now I am reading on Technicolor. Unfotunately I am not clear yet what is the exact motivation of Technicolor? Please help me to clarify this. Thanks in advance.

There is a QCD component to the W mass. Chiral symmetry breaking gives you a W mass term of perhaps 20 MeV.

The idea of technicolor is to replicate QCD at a high enough scale so that this techni-QCD is responsible for all of the W mass. If you just scale up QCD, you get a scale for this new interaction in the TeV ballpark.
 
But of course with this scaling to higher energies you are no longer able to explain why other particles stay light
 
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.09804 From the abstract: ... Our derivation uses both EE and the Newtonian approximation of EE in Part I, to describe semi-classically in Part II the advection of DM, created at the level of the universe, into galaxies and clusters thereof. This advection happens proportional with their own classically generated gravitational field g, due to self-interaction of the gravitational field. It is based on the universal formula ρD =λgg′2 for the densityρ D of DM...
