I refuse to believe that Johnny Cash and Axl Rose both are baritones.
Main Post:
To put these amazing but vastly different singers in the same vocal range category makes zero sense to me. I could buy Cash being bass and Rose being tenor, but them both being baritones seems absurd.
Is it just that the categorization is outdated and doesn't make as much sense when used in the context of modern music?

Vocal categorization still makes sense if we're talking about classical singing. However, when it comes to popular music/rock/pop/etc., categorization cannot explain all the voice phenomena we can observe.
That said, it's interesting to see how doctors, speech therapists, singing teachers and singers are work together to develop new ways to understand voice, voice pedagogy and how we can rearrange our larynx muscles in order to produce different sounds
