Disco isn't the most snubbed genre. I don't see any salsa groups on the list. I don't see any classical musicians. Hell, Miles Davis is the only jazz artist on there. And since you brought up rap, there have only been four rap acts inducted as opposed to the seven (or eight if you count Isaac Hayes) disco acts I mentioned.

Making Disco music is
very different from an actual Disco artist.
Objectively, the only two acts that are Disco artists out of the list you mentioned are The Bee Gee's and Donna Summer.
While these acts might have experimented with Disco in their music,
Michael Jackson is not a disco artist
Earth Wind and Fire are not a disco band and neither are the rest of the acts you mentioned.
Overall, there are more rap acts than disco acts in the hall.
The Bee Gee's and Donna Summer are the only Disco acts in the Hall.
Also, how has Madonna influenced rock music??? She is a cultural pop figure but I don't see how her music has incorporated rock or influenced the progression of the genre.
There are a ton of acts in the Hall that has not influenced rock music. Therefore, other acts should be eligible to be inducted.
