I think it's because Liverpool are so far ahead that people are generally in the mindset that teams in first place should be handed the title/promotion, without taking into account the enormous difference in circumstances. France awarded PSG the title, who were 12 points clear with a game in hand, in Holland however the team in 1st was not handed the title as Ajaz and Alkmaar were neck and neck. Barrow's position is much more comparable to the Dutch league than the French.

The biggest injustice of all would be Charlton being relegated as apparently they only dropped into the bottom 3 for the first time all season the weekend before lockdown and they were due to play fellow strugglers Hull (one place above them) next and could have moved up 5 places with a win.
