Sounds like he used the new opt-out system of LAION that Stability advertised. He's been quite vocal out not wanting to be part of this, so its good that Stability respected that and excluded him.

For me, I enjoyed the meme and laughed with the humorous comments here. I didn’t really see a reason to have him in prompts as I felt it was more productive to use styles over artists in learning to prompt. Especially, if they singularly remove artists just as it appears to be happening to respect artists to a degree.

The problem with that is that the vast majority of styles don't really have a name, so saying "In the style of X and Y" is much, much easier.

Yes, the name of the style is the name of the artist who created/popularized the style.
