Of course, there are other machines also to be considered mainframes, for example General Electric machines or machines in foreign countries, Europe or the Soviet Union. Some of them were very powerful and sophisticated and built in much larger numbers than, for example, the IBM 7030 Stretch. So IMHO the selection is a little bit biased vs. USA and IBM, but that's OK for me, as long as it does not say that it is supposed to cover the "whole story".
