Why isn't it also brilliant?

This should have been my first game with two brilliants 😭

after Bh3 g3 there’s the move Qe4, threatening an unstoppable mate on g2 and also a possible back rank on e1 (Qe1+ Rxe1 Rxe1#)

some lines could go:

Bh3 g3 Qe4 Rf1 Qg2# Bh3 g3 Qe4 Qd1 Qg2# Bh3 g3 Qe4 f3 Qe2 and eventual mate on g2

whereas with Bf3, after g3 Qe4 your own bishop is blocking your checkmating square, slowing down your attack. even if it’s checkmate eventually it’s not a quick forced mate, which is probably why you got a miss for it
