That is the reason why categories exist.

I haven't played Pentiment but will believe you on it having a great storytelling, so I would have 0 issue with it being nominated and even winning on a category for best narrative, history or similar. But would it win on best picture, soundtrack, gameplay, etc, etc?

But for GOTY it would be the equivalent of the best movie, so that would need to check all the boxes.

Perhaps this award needs more categories, although I think they already have the bases covered.

This is the best take. Its not that i have a problem with indys its just like you said the best game has to check all the boxes. If rhese smaller games want to chase a single category like narrative then theres an award just for narrative where it could win. But indys just dont belong in the goty category. 

I thoroughly disagree. Games like Hollow Knight, Celeste and Hades are just as deserving of a GOTY award/nomination than the The Last of Us, Mario Odyssey or God of War.
