I think that's because the songs on the single left out of Sgt. Pepper were better than the songs on the singles from the other albums (which were also left out of the albums)

Rubber Soul - excluded Day Tripper/We Can Work It Out
Revolver - excluded Paperback Writer/Rain
Sgt. Pepper - excluded Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane

When judging albums back then you should also take into consideration the singles that were recorded during the sessions but left off the albums. If Starberry Fields and Penny Lane had been included in Sgt. Pepper it probably would've been praised even more than it is today.
