I'm honestly perplexed by the outrage, some things to consider:
The way Yuzu not only stepped out, but almost tumbled out of his two first quads in Origin, would be considered two 'serious errors'. I think everyone knows that the rulebook says to cap PCS in such a case.
It's no coincidence he was awarded exactly 8.75 in PE + IN and 9.25 in CO by most judges, since those are the maximum possible scores in this case. It certainly looks like the majority of judges would have given higher scores if it weren't for the technical mistakes.
It is also not unusual to see a drop in the SS score in the case of several bad jump landings, even though there's always some disagreement on whether one should impact the other or not.
It is actually the japanese judge that showed blatant favouritism in his PCS scores and doesn't seem to follow the rulebook, meanwhile the american judges were all middle of the pack in PCS as well as in GOE (it's all in the protocol, not sure how this can even be disputed).
I agree that two of Yuzu's UR calls were not a 100 % clear and I would have given him the benefit of the doubt, but the jumps in question did have suspicious landings so I can definitely imagine that from the panel's perspective they looked UR.
And they did otoh ignore 3-4 other jumps that looked clearly UR (the 3A in his combo f.i.) or least very borderline to me, so I guess it was just a bad tech panel in general. But that proves their incompetence, doesn't mean they're purposely messing with the scores inventing phantom URs.

. And the ones I had in mind were the 4S and his second 4T, the one in combo.
