Ugh, I thought I made it pretty obvious I wanted to play NT here, and yet it bids something else anyway, even with a 4/3/3/3 hand. I think I could have made 3NT, too, considering they barely have any way of winning anything more than 2 tricks on ♠, 1 on ♥, and 1 on ♦, but I did not see any way to make 4♥. And why does 3NT only show 5 or fewer ♠; shouldn't it be fewer than that?
Edit: One more issue with this. I wish my bidding NT would show only 4 hearts, not 4-5 hearts. If I had 5, I would have opened 1 heart unless I had 6+ clubs, in which case I wouldn't have a balanced enough hand to bid NT, so the only scenario that I can see this should ever be the bid is with 4 hearts.

I agree with all of OP's points. In addition:
Why is West bidding 2♦, red vs white, potentially opposite a yarb?
Should North's pass put an upper limit on his future bids?

You have got to wonder what is in their dodgy simulations that make GIB pull from 3NT with flat and all suits covered with low honours -some twice covered.
