Axis by axis

Execution7 vs 9

Tetris 99 leans harder on execution: High-speed stacking and finesse define survival

Reads3 vs 4

Tetris 99 leans harder on reads: Targeting and badge timing against humans matter mid-match

Variance4 vs 4

Even - both lean on variance about the same.

Optimization4 vs 5

Tetris 99 leans harder on optimization: Stacking theory and downstack efficiency are studied skills

Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
