I’m concerned you’re defending a straw man - did anyone ever claim 80k’s list was true for every single possible person? I don’t think so and such a claim would be implausible.
As an anecdote, I’ve always read their list and recommendations as applying to their target audience of talented graduates of elite Western colleges.
To be clear, I don’t know whether they specifically target elite college graduates. I was speaking slightly loosely and don’t have any inside information on 80k. It just seems to me that use elite colleges are a proxy for ambitious graduates.

Have they ever admitted to specifically targeting graduates of elite colleges rather than ambitious graduates generally?

Yup. In which case, it is a ‘big list’ for such folks.
