Auto tune in singing is les alike steroids in the Olympic lifting competition and more like sequins or costumes in ice dancing. Most art or entertainment awards aren’t competitions- they’re recognition. They’re subjective- how much the audience and especially the kiddies appreciate or are impacted by your work. Technical performance is only a fraction of that. What is music anyway? The wind making a trash can thump just right or a bird or a million things that don’t even require a human to do much f anything but listen can be called music. Auto tuning a voice- synthesized sound is not so different from electric guitars or digitally created drum beats and other synthesizers. If we disqualified music from awards if it wasn’t electrically amplifies unaltered acoustic human made sounds... not a whole lot of music from most of this or the last century would be eligible.
