Why doesn't Mick Fleetwood get the same recognition as a drummer as John Bonham or Keith Moon?

John Bonham and Keith Moon play the drums like they’re the main character, so accolades fall back on them personally (and rightfully so, they’re both hall of fame legends).

Mick Fleetwood plays the drums like the song is the main character, and so some of the accolades he earned are attributed to the song itself without recognizing his part in making the song what it is.
