I think there isn’t much “buzz” about Satoko’s bad jumping because
1) it is so blatantly obvious, everyone knows it, Satoko knows it and talks openly about it and works hard to try and change that. To the point that if you make an analysis my only reaction will be “... ok.”
2) yes, her issues are 99% of the time ignored by the panel(there’s certainly some politicking going on there). But, let’s think here how many flutzes go uncalled? How many URs? How lenient panels tend to be? Or, worse, how selective panels tend to be? It’s not just about Satoko. In the Olympics for instance, had they called every error from Satoko, I would’ve liked to see other obvious and well known errors being called too, otherwise wouldn’t it have been unfair to Satoko? Call everything or call nothing. Skate America of course is doing dirty to some skaters by being so strict to some and not so strict with Satoko.
3) Let’s talk about PCS. We all know Satoko deserves the highest marks, enough to challenge the marks of, let’s say, the Olympic Champion. Does that ever happen? Maybe it could finally happen this season but so far, not happening. I said this before, her jumps should be getting dinged but the rest of her skating should be getting rewarded the way it deserves.
1) The fact that it is so obvious, should actually produce more buzz, not less, because it's so obvious and yet nobody has called anything in many years now. I've read "shame on ISU" for much less than this.
She said she wants to improve the jumps (which is admirable) so many times and yet always going back to the old technique with all the "cheating", so to me those start to feel more as PR speaking, that's maybe what judges want to hear.
2) If you want to be that strict, let's do it. I guarantee you that Satoko would be one of the most penalized skater then, because it's not just the amount of issues she has, it's also the fact that her jumping technique goes against almost all the criteria ISU uses to reward jumps: positions from take-off to landing, height and distance,... that's arguargbly even crazier than the overlooked issues.
I want also to correct you because you said that judges called every error Satoko made at the Olympics and that's not true, between SP and LP she received nothing: zero URs, zero edge calls, everything clean.

I've been tracking her scores for a while (Worlds 2015, when the inflation started), the last time a panel really started to call some of her mistakes was at Skate Canada last year.
3) I've never questioned her PCS (or her spins), she's a lovely skater, pleasant to watch, even though i remember even some of her fans like Jenny Kirk on TSL used to say that Satoko is great and lovely but she looks far less impressive and much smaller live than at home with a camera close on her.
About your desire, i do not agree: Figure skating is both technical and artistry, and actually it's more 60% technical and 40% artistry because of the way scores are given.
No offense but Satoko Miyahara has such a questionable technique that i don't personally think she should be considered Olympic Champion level unless the others are even worse than her, or until she improves the technique.
For me it's already crazy the way things are now with her always being in the mix, considering Japan could already push someone else like Kaori as the top japanese lady.
