First, I will use this email to say that I like the design, but would want a
bit more contrast, and possibly less transparency under text to increase
readability.

Why not?
Because the website is about advertising Free Software not their proprietary
counter part. It would be perfectly fine to mention them in an article on
interoperability to show how well they shine, or their short coming. But I
would agree that they do not belong to the software directory.
As a creator I believe I have the right to mix and match proprietary and
Free tools.
It is indeed your right, but not the goal of create and the libre graphics
movement.
I want the directory to help me make an informed choice. This includes
information on all tools, not just Free ones.
And I don't think the goal of that web site is about making an informed
choice, it is about showing free software based work flow. It is not about
lying about the capability of those software, but no reason to give free
advertisement to proprietary products (do you see a link for the gimp or
scribus on Adobe web site ? or for Krita on Corel's web site ? or ...).

proprietary software has nothing to do with libre graphics - other than
representing the exact opposite of what we want.
