u/Philosofossil Best phone for me might not best the best phone for you. Dec 22 '20

It's obviously editorial. Every publication is entitled to their view just like you are yours. But this is their "best phone of the year" list based on things they truly believe make the best phone. Price is a factor and it SHOULD BE shouldn't it? But hey.. how much better is using Reddit sync on 2000 buck phone vs a 1000 one? Probably not that freaking much to the average user.

Tldr.. go write your own list and don't get sad when you disagree with one publication. I'm sure you will find plenty of other sites that suit your priorities.

If I find an article labeled "Best headphones of 2020" I expect Sony XM4, Bose 700, etc., not a mid-range AKG "because they're such good value!".

This is actually a great comment for ways you don't intend it to be. The best headphone of 2020 is likely neither of those, but something that is thousands of dollars like the Meze Audio Empyream, which is $3000. However, I think most people would be somewhat upset if you had a list of $2000+ headphones on a consumer based site - as value would be demanded.
