I think it's an "exhaustive" list under the limitations for those who do have a first and last name. Once you expand it to surnames and given names, it's a lot more complex.

It is not. I have a single first and a single last name, both ASCII-safe. I am not on the list.

It is not exhustive in any sense. There are enormously famous people, like Charles de Gaulle or Jaques Chirac whose last names are apparently not part of the exhaustive list.

No, 'Ford' is missing.
