if you go by that way of thinking the only judge we would have is Len - Bruno is stage and commercial, Craig is Theatre and Alesha......well enough said about her. Even Arlene wouldn't have made the panel if your rationale was adopted,
Each judge brings their own area of expertise ( apart from Alesha, I suppose she says she looks at performance)
I don't think it is time for him to go at all, he is the most consistant judge and always has been. The dancers all want high marks from him which should tell you its his mark they respect the most.
As for 10gate - maybe he thought despite not being perfect Chelsee's dance was more entertaining and more believable that Harry's. Dancing is about telling a story not just moving your hands and feet unless your at a disco

another line of thought of course is strategic marking
