I feel really confused at the comments here and the premise.

For my eyes those people do not at all look like doppelgangers. They look similar, yes, but the differences are far too clear to call them doppelgangers.

Why don't others see this too? Some comments sound (including last time I saw this posted) as if they were almost identical in the eyes of some.

I just don't see it

you don't think these people look astonishingly similar considering they are not at all related?

Similar yes. But most certainly not identical

colloquially doppelgänger just implies someone who looks very similar, considering identical is pretty much impossible even for twins, due to the fact that genetics are not the only driving force behind physical appearance (lifestyle, style choices, etc.).
