Totally agree. However, in many instances, some people listed as authors didn't contribute in any way to the article. They may have attended a meeting at some point, or there may be a local culture where you have to include your PhD advisor no matter what.
On the other hand, there are researchers who wouldn't put their name on an article unless they contributed significantly.
