Why is this not a brilliant?!

Because you were already winning probably

Sacrifices that lead to mate can be brilliants, but here just about any non-blunder is completely winning.

it's a simple pattern. when I sacrificed my knight for mate in two in a game, it was a best move too. it's a completely winning poisition, so it shouldn't be brilliant.
Of course u can give yourself a ! for it or even !!. Its an algorithm that is programmed by humans. humans who probably are as good in chess as u. or even worse. so I give myself !! for moves an algorithm wouldnt give anything. but in fact a move doesnt have to be a sacrifice to be brilliant. and u dont have to get a winning position to make a brilliant move. but algorithms are mechanical and not very smart or even less smart than their programmers.
I sacrificed the queen, and what do I get? Not even a great move, just the best move.
