It's a popularity contest in a generalist space. Works by writers who are more well known outside of their genre are going to do better in this setting than anyone else. Notice 2 of the 3 SciFi works are from writers with movie/TV adaptation and the 3rd has had multiple nominations and wins of very well known awards (as have the others). Readers who don't read SciFi as a norm have a much higher chance of having actually encountered and maybe even read these than lesser known authors

There's no agenda here. Careful you don't go tilting at windmills
