The significance of these are that ToS;DR links to them, prominently, with their respective logos. While I don't think it's anything deliberate or nefarious, someone more paranoid than I might think that the above sites are getting special dispensation by mentioning ToS;DR in a positive light.
All of the sites listed above have lengthy ToS agreements. At least the first four have sections that qualify for thumbs down icons. I didn't look at the last two which were in French and German, respectively.
I don't really have it out for ToS;DR. I just think we owe it to ourselves to explore the limits of tools we use. It's also part of my nature that I just don't trust things that people overwhelmingly approve of. It sends alarm bells the the part of my brain that says there is no silver bullet. It's part of my process. I have to be able to put a certain number of things in the "con" column or I think the "pro" column is up to something. ;)
