I can’t stand Everton but that was absolutely a penalty at the end. I don’t understand why the VAR kept showing the ref the view from the side, when the camera behind the goal clearly showed the shirt pull. Watch the justifiers justify it.

And there’s your justification. “The penalty was called against Maguire, but the replay showed he didn’t commit the foul, it was de Ligt. And somehow we can’t review de Ligt’s foul, so, no penalty.”
The genius of this is that you can get a player to foul someone while a teammate screens the ref, and the ref calls a foul on the screener, VAR will say there was no foul at all. It’s the “ignore what your eyes are showing you” of football.
