If these all count as low-hanging fruit, they may have been picked, but they haven't really ripened yet. Part of the trouble is that truly general, overview articles are: (a) difficult to write well; and (b) experts tend to prefer to write more limited, specialised articles. Sometimes the subsidiary articles need to be written to a good level before the general article can be tackled. Sometimes it is the other way round.
I've noticed that featured articles are rarely general topics - they tend to be specialised articles brought to FA status by one person interested in that specialist subtopic.
