Added a caveat. I'm sure they'll keep recycling the character until the end of time with different actors.

You should add the other Hannibal Lecter actors (from the movies). Also, Emily Blunt also portrayed Mary Poppins. And Zachary Quinto played Spock too in the 2009 reboot.

It makes zero sense to have two for Obi-wan and not for e.g. Spock.

I can see the rationale for doing it this way. Both Obi-wan actors are well-known for that role, and it could be argued there is some ambiguity about who is more famous for their portrayal at this point. Conversely, of the three actors who have portrayed Spock, I think most quizzers would agree that Nimoy's is the most famous portrayal, so that choice is more clear cut.
