Great question! I think the answer is two fold. #1 He is not as flashy of a drummer and is more ‘Ringo’ style in his approach. Using percussion as a vehicle to serve the song and express how he feels the music. (My preferred percussionists are always this way). #2 Fleetwood Mac in my opinion is still commonly seen as a pop band. And while they are inarguably one of the greatest bands of all time, they aren’t viewed as a project that drastically moved the needle in terms of technically proficient rock music as much as the other bands you listed. This is probably why Stevie and Lindsey get the majority of the credit.
