In what world don't they count?

They can power EVs. And running an EV on fossil fuel electricity is still far less polluting than running a petrol or diesel car.

One large generator at its most efficient setting is far more efficient than tens of thousands of small ones starting from cold multiple times per day, that aren't necessarily maintained well, and are constantly going through their rev range.

Where are your sources for any of what you're saying?
