While it's understandable to not get on the main GOTY list, other hits like Armored Core 6, Diablo 4, and Starfield didn't make it either, not getting nominated in any secondary category either starts looking suspicious.

Only thing it maybe should've popped into was soundtrack (it was nominated for a Grammy), however there are always a ton of great soundtracks.

You figure for musical variety there's always going to be a big adventure game, a top RPG, a top rhythm game, something popular like a Souls game, a slightly lower tier original game the critics loved, etc. there's just no room for an established non-gaming IP in a year like this one.
