Because the grammys are dumb. "Best record" and all that is highly subjective and there are many artists out there making music who are far more talented than most of these people. Artists who, for starters, write their own music...play instruments...don't lip sync.

Have the award show and recognize whoever but let's call it what it is. "Best selling album of the year.""Most streamed song of the year."

At least those things aren't so subjective.

The lyrics being written by the singer, the singer playing an instrument and never lip suncing doesn’t make a song or album any better or worse though

Ok, that's fair. Those things should not prevent a song from winning but the artist should not be in the running for artist of the year.

And also, again, the "best" song is so subjective. Maybe a song that a singer wrote themselves, based on their own life experiences, that they have a real emotional connection with, is "better" to me than one that a song writer wrote and the actual performer saw for the first time 5 minutes before it was time to lay it down on the record.
