Is a nat 20 not treated as a critical success? At least that’s how my 5e DM handles those.

DnD 5e does not have critical successes or failures on ability checks. Only attack rolls have critical successes and failures.

Well, I like the way my DM does it. I would say I’m surprised, but the logic behind the rules is way too far beyond my understanding and I regularly am thrown off by the exceptions.
