If you write a paper for a class and get a 100% that doesn't mean it was the best paper ever written or that it's even the best paper in the class. It means the paper met all the criteria the grader was looking for to a certain extent.

This applies to games as well. A 10/10 doesn't mean it's a perfect game, just that it met all criteria to a high enough degree to warrant a 10. Think of a 10 as a bar a game needs to pass rather than the ceiling.
