There are literally 4 spread QBs in the playoffs right now.

What exactly is your definition of the spread? I think you are confusing 4 wideout sets as being the same thing as a college spread. The spacing is different, the pace is faster, it relies on the deep ball a great deal, and reading defenses is pretty much out of the question . If you have an athletic QB, you see the spread-option offense.

This is not the style NFL teams play in. And of the 4 QB's you listed, only two ran a spread offense in college, which is what I was referring to in the first place. And none of them are running it now.

Prescott is in the playoffs because of his defense, offensive line and running game. He's an average, at best, QB. Mahomes, I already mentioned earlier, is the outlier. But he was inaccurate and a poor decision maker in college. Andy Reid turned his physical talent into an actual NFL QB, just as he has done his entire career.
