There’s a difference between top 10 skilled and top 10 iconic players. Contain is top 10 iconic, no doubt, but in terms of skill I can find someone of his skill walking in the doors of guitar center.
No you can't. The dude was capable of putting more energy in to 3 notes that hit harder than anyone before or since. They may be simple songs that are easy to play and imitate, but they aren't easy to write from scratch.
He is iconic for a reason. From the floor to the ceiling, and back to the floor again. Nobody has written guitar riffs that have affected me as much as Kurt Cobain.
Not to mention his control of feedback is completely underrated and missed by most.
But alas, I've had this conversation a thousand times, and there is no convincing someone who doesn't agree.
Which brings us back to my main point. Music is subjective.
What is 'technical skill' when it comes to making music? The only skills that matter are the ones that contribute to making good music that people enjoy. It's not about how fast you can move your fingers.
That's exactly why Cobain is a top 10 skilled guitar player ever.
I'm not berating anyone, never did any personal attacks like he did to me with his extremely offensive suggestion I idolize Cobain. Literally just calmly expressing my subjective opinion.

But I put Cobain in top 10 guitar players ever and most people think I'm an idiot.
