Why might VOO be better than SPY, IVV and VTI?

I made 2 videos the other days comparing the historical returns of these 4 ETFs: IVV, VOO, SPY and VTI. In the first video, I found that a VOO had the best historical returns in a randomly chose investment time span. 


In the second video, I found that VOO was still the best accounting for their return standard deviation, or risk, or fluctuation, when I divided their returns by the return standard deviation.


Why might VOO be better than SPY, IVV and VTI?
Out of curiosity, I went digging for information. Some of the known facts that would not make VOO the best:
  1. VTI contains mid-, and small-cap equity, while the others don't.
  2. SPY has the highest expense ratio of 0.09%, while the others are 0.03%.
Then I found the possible reason, their turnover rate:
  1. SPY: 2%
  2. VOO: 2%
  3. IVV: 3%
  4. VTI: 3.4%
With this and the fact that SPY has the highest expense ratio, VOO might just be the best ETF among : IVV, VOO, SPY and VTI.

Which Asset Class Had the Best Performance During the 2008 Financial Crisis?

The scenario is investing right at the highest point of S&P 500 index right before it crashed during the crisis. The date is Oct 9, 2007  when the index reached 1,565.15. I will compare the returns of each asset against SPY in the following order: Investing until the bottom of the crisis at 676.53 on Mar 09, 2009 in order to simulate downside risk. Investing until the S&P 500 index closed above the previous high at 1,568.61 on Apr 09, 2013 in order to simulate recover ability. Investing until the bottom of the Covid crisis at 2,304.92 on Mar 20, 2020 in order to simulate a series of market crashes. Performance By Ranks Oct 9, 2007 to Mar 09, 2009 SHY  return is 8.848% AGG  return is 7.390% LQD  return is -6.793% HYG  return i...
