Probably the same reason why silly comedies don't win a lot of oscars. They can be enjoyable but there's not a lot of actual merit when you're looking at criticism. A lot of people might find Fortnite entertaining and fun, but it's mindless junk at the end of the day.
Anyway, the only real RPG on the list is Skyrim, and I don't really think it deserves to be. Witcher 3 is more of a story-based action/adventure game, its RPG elements are secondary - same goes for TLoU, Mass Effect, Horizon Zero Dawn, Nier Automata, Deus Ex HR and others than have been mentioned. Even BOTW... Zelda games should be their own category - they have almost nothing in common with games like Skyrim or DOS2.
