Another factor is that Fury won the second half of each round that he was knocked down in, so there is an argument to be made that those could be 10-9 rounds for Wilder instead of 10-8.
I would assume that the small group that think that Wilder won this fight are likely not considering how boxing is actually judged.
You are also not considering how boxing is actually judged if you think that there's an argument for those rounds being 10-9. You don't score the knockdown in isolation of the rest of the round. Fury getting badly hurt from those punches which knocked him down is much more significant than the sum of the punches Fury was able to land in those two rounds. To pull a 10-8 back to a 10-9 you have to do some serious work and be landing a lot, which isn't what happened, with the knockdown normally being just a quick flash one.
Giving either of those two rounds as a 10-9 would be horrible scoring.
