Perhaps they were just focusing on “mainstream mathematics”. At a 
glance, the map seems to be mostly Number Theory, Geometry and 
physics-related math. So, it looks like “as many fields as possible” was 
not their goal.

Actually, they have some interesting articles in set theory, for instance
https://www.quantamagazine.org/to-settle-infinity-question-a-new-law-of-mathematics-20131126/ 


where they look at forcing axioms vs. Ultimate-L, and a more recent one 
(2017)
https://www.quantamagazine.org/mathematicians-measure-infinities-find-theyre-equal-20170912/

concerning p=t. In fact, in the map links articles as old as 2014 (just 
a random check).

Indeed, "cardinal numbers" could just have a place among "numbers".
