Why was this question about "is this question on-topic" closed as a duplicate of "why are opinion based questions off-topic"?

I recently asked this question about whether it was on-topic to ask if there is a right way to organize child structs within a project's files. An answer to this question answered by saying No, because it's opinion-based.

Another user came and marked my question as a duplicate of a question he found to be "the best reference question I could about why opinion based questions are off topic"

Clearly, this is a very different question to the one I asked. My question tries to know whether a particular question is on-topic, which includes knowing if it's opinion-based, whereas the linked question is more of a follow-up question on why the answer that I accepted is correct about opinion-based questions being off-topic.

My question wasn't: "Is this opinion-based question on-topic?". My question was aiming to know if a question is on-topic, which includes knowing if it's opinion-based.
