points to directors with many popular films but is their true artistic level the highest?
Outside of "Unforgiven," I think Eastwood's output is mediocre. Scorsese hasn't had even a good film to his credit in ages, though that alone shouldn't disqualify him because of the several masterstrokes.
It appears that the critics seem to want to educate as well as nominate: the chosen perhaps purposefully exclude the commonly known?

...I never discriminate against pop, only uninspired vision.
If a director delivers an idea set I've yet to see (or well presented in film), that wins beaucoup points.
Yeah, the art is sometimes too subtle to grab one the first times around, but given time the films that hold up to be viewed repeatedly have art enough for unsophisticated me.
(Don't have an art cinema close by to see obscure goodies; rely on the expert opinions like those of Tinear et al. and hope it's on DVD and cheap.)
