Yes but it is ALSO about the tumbling. OOB penalizes and disincentivizes the more difficult and exciting passes like Simone's. Why would we want to do that in WAG? It also stacks the deck against the taller gymnasts and so unfairly favors shorter (and younger) gymnasts

Yes. But her passes have huge difficulty and the amplitude she gets plus her speed and power are the issues for her
