Not sure if "authetincity" is the right term, but there certainly is a sense of superiority, yes. Speaking strictly for myself I would say that I respect and sometimes even envy Te as an awesome superpower but at the same time consider it somehow "profane" and "less pure" than Ti in that Ti is in a way occupied with something higher, timeless and more abstract while Te is all about what is actually going on in the (profane) world out there. Reality, meh!
See, sub Te for Fe and Ti for Fi and you've got my thoughts exactly
I use the term 'authenticity' because that is how it is described in the profiles as well. It's a 'being true to yourself' focus. Nothing superior about it, it just has its perks and drawbacks like any other focus. Tbh, I have the same reaction you do to 'authenticity' to the 'objective truth' that Ti worships so, as imho, objective truth seizes to exist once it is interpreted by a human mind
