Congratualtions on minimizing one of the most influential photos in the past forty years.
The hard part wasn't taking the photograph, it was seeing the girl in the refuge camp in the first place, taking the moment to make the connection with her, so she showed her eyes, composing the image to remove the bustling background, and getting the light & timing perfect. Sure, it would take a crap photographer to mess up her portrait, but it took a good photographer to see her in the first place.
Steve McCurry calls himself a photojournalist, but he has done a great deal of environmental portraits in his time. Personally, I'd say those are his best photos.

Going back to the original subject, I recognize the photos of one or two of the photographers. I'll agree, they all fall into what I consider travel photography, not classic portraiture, and I doubt any but Steve McCurry are truely famous. Personally, my list would have included people shooting the covers of major publications that hundreds of thousands or millions of people read, or adverts that are plastered in front of billions of eyes. Almost no non-photographers recognizes a famous photographer's name, but many will recall a few famous images they've seen. Annie Leibovitz, Martin Schoeller, Greg Heisler, Dan Winters, Joey L. I'd have loved to see a list of similar photographers shooting and being published in the east; India and China in particular, since those images will fall on a lot of eyes.
As was said, the link was pure click-bait, and so the list was really "these are my favour photographers".
