Why do you expect someone who doesn't make the all-star team to get an icon saying they did? As LansdowenSt said, the voting is only for the starters, the rest are decided by the players and commissioner's office, the vote totals have no bearing.

Who picks the reserves and pitchers?
In short, it's a group effort between the player ballot and the Commissioner's Office. A change made in 2017 resulted in All-Star skippers no longer having a say in selections, so there's no longer the potential for any perceived conflicts of interest.
