Thank you for your precisions. As i already said, good job for the annotations ! There were fun to read, and still instructive.

Who are the voters though ? Is it a a small team of title players, or is it the votes of the community using the lichess reaction buttons ? (sorry if this information is already written somewhere)
It is voted on by members of the lichess team. So there are people at every level and with various preferences. It might be fun to find a way to let the user base vote. But unless there were some sort of quality control it could easily be manipulated

Neither is yours, besides , is there anything wrong with having the same opinion as someone and making a light joke? While you and others might disagree, I thought the game was quite nice, while it might not be the greatest game of the month ever or even game in general, it was instructive in some ways, had nice analysis, and was worth the time.
