It's cool to see them all side by side. We really are in a new era of bigass rockets.
Only listing LEO payload numbers is weird when some of these are primarily meant for TLI.
SLS Cargo isn't real and can't hurt me. Yenisei is vaporware. And the payload mass for everything on the right half is unproven.

Starship can’t even get itself to orbit.

lots of those rockets have problems, N1 couldn't escape the atmosphere, energiya couldn't escape the USSR's collapse and the sls block 2 won't be able to escape CAD
everything right of sls block 1 hasn't even flown

Ehhh "can't" vs "decided not to"

Well, my rocket can get 250 tons to LEO. It’s also just a CAD model but like 75% of these are too.

Some barely qualify as that.
