> If at least two masters have played a move in tournament situation, then the move must be playable! So that's how it works now.

Considering how much Stockfish is stronger than those masters, those moves could be really wrong despite being playable in human vs human games.

No, there are positions where computers are known to make the wrong decisions. Computers use opening books instead of evaluating the moves themselves because they don't evaluate openings well.
