As you can see here it cbets the 150% 25.1 to 2.4 or over 10x as often, would that not lead you to believe it is preferred?
The overall EV in the pic you showed is 2.85.
Please try creating two separate trees.
One for a bet size of 33% and one for a bet size of 150%.
In the tree with 33% leave out the bet of 150%.
And vice versa, in the tree with 150% leave out the bet with 33%.
Now compare the overall EV for both trees.
The tree with the highest overall EV will be the "preferred" one.
The difference, as it will most likely turn out, will be very small.
It's possible to construct a credible GTO strategy for any bet size that will perform similarly to any other bet size.
Now, although it may be argued that the tiny difference would still mean that a certain size is preferred, the problem is that a lot of detail is lost when translating the GTO solution to something that can be used in practical play. When deciding on sizes, it's better to just pick a size that you feel comfortable with in your own play, or where you feel your opponent will make the biggest mistakes.

Exactly, so instead of trying to rely on a tiny theoretical GTO advantage, it's better to just use a size that you feel works best in the actual practical situation.
