Not sure if "powerful" is the right word either. It's more of a list of the best passports to have if you want to go on holidays. "Doesn't require a visa" usually means those countries don't require visas for short non-business trips (anything from 14 days to 6 months). E.g. you can visit the US with a German passport for 3 months for a holiday but it's extremely difficult to get a visa to move there indefinitely.

You do realise that works the same way for everybody and US visa-free entry is not a residence permit right? For instance as a US citizen you'd get visa-free entry to Iceland or Japan or New Zealand but can only stay for 90 days.

  Well it works that way for everybody with a "good" passport. This is why the list is there in the first place ;) Things get a lot more difficult if you have for example an Egyptian passport.

    Sure but that's not the point I'm arguing (or arguing against).

  Yes, the point is that the ranking would look very different if it were based on the ease of long term residence instead of a short visit. Going from the US to Germany for a short visit is basically the same as going from the UK to Germany for a short visit, but going from the US to Germany for long term residence is much more difficult than going from the UK to Germany for long term residence.
