There's no nuance there, it's simply not a mathematical predictive stat of NHL team success. Which is all that matters from my standpoint. If you have to codifi a statistic by evaluating 278 "other" statistics around it to try to grab some perspective and "context", then that statistic is devalued to the point of near meaninglessness (Steven Santini is my favorite current example of this BTW).
Not to go down this rabbit hole again, but aside from some people who like to post it blindly without context, almost every reputable or reasonable person that I've seen that applies Corsi notes that. It's just a quantifiable way to look at possession.
Back in 2013 or so, there were a lot of studies that showed Corsi being a good indicator of team success, but that seems to have changed dramatically of late. Haven't seen much of that talk lately come playoff time as it seems like teams have built away from the Kings/Bruins style of play that reflected higher CF% into the Penguins/Senators style of play that has been built to counter that.
As teams build more on speed and skill, quantity seemingly matters a lot less than quality. But it also doesn't erase the data from pre-2013 that corroborated using CF% as gage of team success. Now it seems to be a lot more about xGF%.
