Very interesting.

A note on the jazz graph is that 9ths, 11ths and 13ths are very low. This may be because they are rarely notated and more often their use is left to the player. Basically any modern jazz chord is usually played with a couple of extensions.

That’s certainly true in jazz, but not necessarily in other popular music. Correctly transcribed Bowie songs, for example, would certainly have to notate the exact extensions.
