It seems that you are in romance with that bicycle that Martinelli tried, against Chelsea it was on target and when that shots enters it will become a trend in social media.
This is something that Cristiano Ronaldo do, and more than that, Cristiano tries shots from 35 meters too, and with some frequency. This is in fact something that goalscorers do (they want to score goals) and this is what they need to be stimulated to do. A mistake there costs less than some back pass and losing the ball in the middle of the pitch.
Martinelli today generated 1.63 npxG + xA of Arsenal's total of 2.86 with a good ball retention as well. Imagine so with a "good decision". wow!
Saka had good ball retention skills on his own half today and a good shot off-target from distance, but he wasn't as impactful offensively neither defensively. He slow the play too much as well. But yeah he had good decision generating zero good chances for himself and for the others. Remember Saka played as a forward.
Pepe poor decision showed much more than Martinelli's "bad decisions" today and of course... again... losing way more balls in fewer minutes, not involved at all and being totally useless defensively. His one good action came from a excellent Martinelli cross who he missed.
