3) At age of 19 she made GGGB an album which all the katy albums need to top in terms of sale,acclaim,impact and over all success
4) At 21 she gave us Rated R - an album that you wont expect coming from someone who is coming from such a huge era .
5) She released a dark , demented ballad like Russian Roulette as lead single
6) She shunned everyone with a diverse loud and proved she can get critical acclaim and sales both
7) She mainstreamed fusion of dance music and urban (Not my word but david guetta's)
8) Again in 2011 she mainstreamed EDM in america with WFL
9) She has been constantly improving on her vocals
10) Collaborating with people who bring the best out of her and vice versa and it doesn't matter to her if they are successful or not ( Calvin (Pre WFL) , Mikky ekko , Future etc )
Do you need anymore reason ?
In this competitive business only writing your own songs doesn't cut it anymore . You have to be alert about what's news , what kind of music has a potential to be huge , who are the right people to collaborate with
And at the end of it all she is not doing this for the awards , this is who she is

Y'all seriously over estimate the Grammys. You do know it's just a "Here's a list of songs, vote for your favourite one" -> "Here's a list of 5 songs, vote for your favourite 1", right? There's no intense discussion about "Oh, well, she took a MASSIVE risk with Rated R, so I think this Dance Grammy for Only Girl is well deserved, what about you Steve?" "I really enjoyed watching the video for 'In For the Kill' so that's definitely my favourite dance recording."
Besides, the fact that Umbrella was her first win invalidates every one of your points except half of #2 and #3.
The question is why can Rihanna get a Grammy and Katy can't?
