Whether or not you think the 5/5 review for NMS is credible, this argument does not apply here. The DD review of NMS is reviewing the game on current content, not on content that's yet to come. That's not the case with your example of Splatoon becoming 10-worthy after more content was released. And in any case, Splatoon got at least one 10/10 and many 9+ scores in its original form.
