They're actually represented just about right if the screenshot collection goal is to show changes throughout time. There's screenshots of Windows 2.1, 3.0 and NT 4.0. Windows from 95 to 2000 kept the exact same look. There's absolutely no point in having a screenshot of each iteration in between. There's just not enough visual and conceptual UI change to really make it worth it having shots of 95, 98, NT4, ME, 2000. A shot of any of these will speak for the entire timeframe.

Compare this shot of Windows 2000 to the one of NT4 they feature on their page :

See any major change? right.

Windows XP is missing but in a way it might not count as retro enough because it has lived and been with us for far, far longer than most OS usually do.
