Great write-up.
What are your thoughts on photographs winning these prizes when it's someone who's mainly just in the right place at the right time? Like with the Charlottesville photo?

If you're not in the right place at the right time you wouldn't get the shot! Even if it were someone that has never picked up a camera, literally lifted the camera up and said "what does this button do?" as they pressed the shutter and got a shot like any of the above images has as much right to win the award as someone that sleeps with a camera in their hand and actively seeks out human tragedies.
