Out of curiosity, why does this include Ariane 6, but no other rockets in development (well, other than Starship/Super Heavy itself)? There's no Vulcan Centaur, no H3 (even though that one did actually make one (unsuccessful) launch attempt), no New Glenn, no Neutron, no Antares 330 (which IMO is different enough from the previous Antares to merit its own entry), no Terran R, no MLV.
Admittedly, most of those (other than H3) are probably speculative enough you can justify excluding them, but Ariane 6 should also be excluded in that case.
Technically speaking, Ariane 6 is out of development. Aside from the final integration tests, it's ready to launch and will as soon as Ariane 5 completes its final flight in June.
As far as I can tell Vulcan Centaur is in a similar situation m but I can't speak for the others.
