Notice how Nami give commands to Zoro here. Not only about what they're gonna go in the factory, but telling him he needs to have an escort.

Because the major things Sanji does was in the shadows. That's Sanji's thing: He splits from the rest of the crew and does something that pretty much never gets reported by the World Government. It was Sanji that made the currents in Enies Lobby that caused the warships to misfire, but he did so in secret so it was never reported. Same for fooling Crocodile, same for finding Robin on the Sea Train. Because Sanji does shit in the dark, he doesn't get the same spotlight Zoro does in the OP world's media, even though the shit he does warrants the same level of respect.
