Jason Jones et al don't have agents that keep them in the lime-light like Carmack, Romero, Meier, etc. So even though they Bungie guys are just as good (in this case, better) they don't get the respect that they deserve because they aren't "famous."

Here's an example. Imagine that Carmack is Val Kilmer. Now imagine that Jason Jones is Philip Seymore Hoffman (more than half of you probably just said "who?"). PSH is an infinitely better actor than that hack Kilmer, but Kilmer is the famous one.

Or with sculpture. Carmack is Ghiberti and Jones is Donatello. In their time, Ghiberti was famous and Donatello was just some guy. Now look. Ghiberti is forgotten as just another late-gothic style sculptor who copied his peers and Donatello is one of the founding fathers (if not THE founding father) of the Renaissance style of sculpture (If there wasn't someone like Donatello there would have been no Michelangelo).
