There were several missed opportunities that the engine gave a 0.3 to 0.5 point advantage to. One point in the engine rating is roughly equivalent to one pawn. Many end games are won or lost based on having an extra pawn or two. Two moves of 0.5 points adds up to a significant improvement.

From my experience watching tournaments, it happens regularly that missed opportunities would have given someone a 1 or 2 point engine rating advantage.
