August Top 25 Women's Rankings: Vaishali to No. 3, Divya +10!

Notice: This post is a personal opinion and does not describe any facts.
Why is Hou Yifan not included in this list? Even tho she doesnt compete in women only events isnt she the highest rated woman currently?
I have no idea what this 'August ranking' is based on. It can't be the FIDE ranking since Yifan isn't included, and for example, Rameshbabu shouldn't be listed as 3rd (she is currently 12th in the live ratings, more than 50 points away from 3rd place).

Hou Yifan has been largely retired for more than six years now. She's only played three classical games this past year (in a women-only event), not enough to earn a ranking.
