I think they also fall into the "Seeing like a State" fallacy where they like to rank things that are measurable. So they look at things heavily like water consumption and cleaning ability, which are easy to measure, but not "long-term stinkiness of the gasket" which are hard to measure. But having a stink when you open the door makes you feel disgusting about your clothes, regardless of the stain removing ability or how little water it used.
