Let just take this example from this thread.

So now, what is our GTO thought process as far as what part of our PF raising range is appropriate to check/fold, check/call, bet/fold, bet/call or bet/reraise?

If you think on some board a GTO solution do not exist, why on earth would you try to find a c/r bluff range here ???
The problem is if some board helps villain so much it might means the range you play pf is too wide , preventing you to use a GTO solution because you do not have at the start a GTO range pf.
Hence we end up again here on what you said earlier.

Imo something do not match up with this hand example and what you believe about GTO.
Seem to me there is a contradiction.
If you adjust correctly pf, no matter the board, you should be able to find a GTO solution.
This is why true GTO play is about frequency depending on pot size and not about ranges.
Obviously, a GTO solution in BB is different when you face UTG player or SB, but there is a solution for it pf.
What i means is if you adjust correctly pf, different board texture should not matter.
Some board you might lose bit of money by force and other board you will make more money.
But if you adjust depending on board texture, you are surely not playing GTO for sure.
This why we defend less vs an UTG opener and a BU at the start.
GTO is entirely base on the size of the pot and the range of the player who use GTO strategy.
