Their selection "process"[1] was.. not what I'd choose to use, especially since they changed the priorities as they evaluated. But then they abandoned that process[2] so I wouldn't read too much into the evaluation.
Basically as far as I can see, the main reason BlazeGraph was chosen was this: [they] had me out to their office (a house an hour and half from mine)[3]
I'm sure BlazeGraph is fine. We were doing a very similar evaluation at the same time, and the Titan situation screwed us over too. But we took a look at BlazeGraph after Wikidata chose it, and found it pretty rudimentary at that time.

BlazeGraph is and then defend our decision to stop spreadsheet work" https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata-tech/2015-Mar...
