It seems to me that my list of advances do fall under Wikipedia’s description of philosophy
I agree. But there are also some systematic differences between what the people you cited did and what (other) philosophers do.
The former didn’t merely study fundamental problems, they solved them.
They did stuff that now exists and can be studied independently of the original works. You don’t have to read a single word of Turing to understand Turing machines and their importance. You need not study Solomonoff to understand Solomonoff induction.
Their works are generally not shelved with philosophy in libraries. Are they studied in undergraduate courses on philosophy?

Turing’s work on AI (and Searle’s response) was discussed in my undergrad intro phil course. But that is not quite the same thing.
Not in my undergraduate program, at least.
