Froome took his best method to a Yellow Jersey in Paris. Don't lose any time on regular stages to his close rivals, and then outrace them in the time trials. There was no requirement to "drop" anyone along the way, he just couldn't be dropped himself. I agree it make the Tour feel a bit lackluster this year, but you can't really fault his strategy.
