Not even that. I chose the "Route with the least walking between
stops "option and got that as the second route offered.

What was the first route? Routes offered often vary according to the
time of day you request (especially with less frequent services on a
Sunday).

I chose 18:00 next Saturday as the time to match the original request
as closely as I could.

The original request was 17.30 Saturday...

The first route was Walk to The Highlands, 114 to Burnt Oak (warning of
delays in Watling Avenue due to road works), then Northern line to
Euston and Victoria line to Green Park, then 9 bus. The other three
routes were using 302 and 52 buses.

Holyrood Gardens is my nearest bus stop by far. Going to Burnt Oak
Station would always be a mistake for this journey. The 302 comes 'every
8-12 minutes' on a Saturday and the 52 more frequently. Though we'd just
missed a 302, we waited less than 5 minutes for the next, and less than
10 minutes for a 52.
