I said problem solving.

But before you were saying TLOU doesn't lose points for not having strong puzzle (which it never proposed to have), is this made to be a type of goalpost shifting?

No goalpost shifting at all. I said:  "TLOU for example doesn't lose points for not having challenging and clever problem solving/puzzles"

It has no puzzles per se at all, and what problem solving it has it basic to the point of basically just being filler. But it doesn't lose points for it cos that's not what it's all about. On the other hand, had BOTW had weak problem solving in its shrines, which are one of its core components, it would have lost points.

So there is no scoring bias in favour of BOTW. It's simply that games are assessed foremost on their primary components, not their tertiary ones.
