Hawking gets the attention because he has ALS. It's not a tradeoff many would

He might get attention also because he is a star in the field (rather well deserve for
its accomplishment).
Of course it is good for him, and possibly sad for some other scientists, which might do
good work but be ignored.
History of science is full of misattributions of all kind. It is not really important
for the ideas, but of course it can be important for the more peculiar steak, moral,
fundings, etc.
I haven't studied it enough to be sure but a quick skim gives me the impression that
Mitra's eternally collapsing object assumes some impossible properties of the
stress-energy and that's why it can violate the Hawking-Penrose theorem. Conceivably
those properties might be implied by quantum gravity, but that's rather different from
just postulating them.
