I would expect people to exercise their brains and determine that bands which emerged post-1990 obviously wouldn't be lumped in with those from the '70s.
Two decades difference is at least a generation apart, particularly in musical evolution.
Sorry to disappoint you so greatly. I exercised my brain and determined that it's not much of a list with only the Allman Bros. on it.

How is Texas culturally not akin to the rest of the South?
Loaded question. Using the phrase "rest of the south" implies that it is part of the south, which it isn't. Tejas has its own culture that is very different from southern culture (Southern Culture on the Skids by the way should be on the list).

I'll accept your disagreement if you can make a solid case for why ZZ Top's sound does not relate to southern rock. Their music is a derivative of blues and country, and both are considered influences of southern rock.
It's not really that important to me whether you accept it or not. British invasion rock is also a derivative of blues and country. Should that be considered southern rock too?

No, because the classification of southern rock also deals with the geographic origins of the band just as much as it does the sound. It is a regional music scene limited to the American South.
