Your argument would be valid only if said quad flips or lutzes were actually remotely close to the right amount of revolutions. As is very well established, the girls' quad lutzes and flips all have a 0.6 revolution cheat on the takeoff, hardly using the toe pick either. Had they been assessed as underrotating AND bad takeoffs, the jumps would not be worth attempting. So, in their case, it's more of 'bad technique making some jumps easier than others'. Triple axels are harder to cheat, hence why Trusova struggles with them.
Even if you think that Trusova "cheats" her lz and f, you can't possibly argue that she cheats her 4S or 4T, the latter of which is her best quad, and they're both textbook. So tell me again that 3As being harder to "cheat" is why Trusova struggles with them (although she can do them and did several at Euros practice). She just prefers quads to 3As, the same way that Rika prefers the 3A to quads, same with Alyona, Liza, Young You.
