I wonder if they took into account that NYC sometimes gets wind chills
below -20 degrees F.

Montreal and Toronto have colder winters and their score isn't much lower than
New York.
Walkability is the DESIRE to walk around a city.
Lots of cities are no fun...

I think it is the "expected value" of the effort required to walk.
Boston, San Francisco, etc. are tiny places with lots of people
(we have 5 times the land area and a comparable population; so
things are more spread out). We're the size of Chicago but with
a fifth the population. NYC being about 25% larger and with
15+ times our population.
Montreal is about half the size of NYC with 1/4 the population.
Toronto is more like Chicago in size and population.
The point being, you can "get somewhere" in more densely populated
areas. Or, while IN an area, can find multiple things worth your
time -- without having to resort to motorized transit. Having to get
IN a car (which means you had to find a place to PARK it) really
raises the effort to do things

"Fun" can come in different flavors...
