I have read posts here that say "so-and-so is a way bigger author than so-and-so that you put on the cover, so you must be sexist"

I think most of the respondents here have been pretty understanding of the marketing decision that led to the selection of the five names - the point was made several times before you commented. Even those commenters who are critical of the decision not to list any women on the front cover don't ascribe it to sexism (although some of them have made the argument that you're ascribing sexism to your readers).
