That's not mate. Qd8 blocks the check.

The real answer was already given in the topic dozens of times.

I just look at checks and see if that mates, it's easy to spot checks like nc6, bh2, rxg8 but there's the not so obvious one. Qb3 mates in 1 as black's bishop is pinned.

So what? It's still checkmate.

No, because then the bishop will be checking the king, which is an illegal move.

Time to read the game rules for the first time.

 
Following your silly claim, this is not a checkmate either (as well as countless other positions) because the Queen is pinned.

Qb7 supported by the bishop

The only moves that aren't mate are f6 and if you promote to something other than a queen or a rook.
