You are right of course
Boettger & Koelske's helpmate is clear strategical with harmonic two solutions.
Mueller's is nice 2x2 HOTF with rich content (but no gate-opening).
Janevski's instead of 2 or 2x2 thematic connected solutions have 3 solutions with paradoxical logical effect - the bS "random" move make possible the mate in the 1st solution which is prevented in other two solutions. Nice correction effect, unusual for helpmates. All three solutions are thematic connected by the gate-opening from the bS and three selfblocks by the bPs.
All these three nice helpmates have their own pluses and in my opinion can exist as originals.
