SM seems like a company that provides more individual oportunities, they managed SNSD so well that a big group is known as a whole. And most of the mentioned idols are 2nd gen, SM dominated 2nd gen lol Taeyong was the only without a legendary status when he was a judge, so SM connections helps a lot too (that's why they're so good at blacklisting idols 
).
SM connections
the answer is just this and that's all.
Privilege the same way the girl from NJ got to sing the Disney song.

Well, I don't think anybody would question SNSD girls, BoA, Super Junior, Shinee members or TVXQ as judges/mentors, their resume is too good and they're legendary idols always mentioned as role models. If they aren't qualified as judges, then who are?
For Street Woman Fighter or Street Man Fighter I do think no one in kpop is qualified, the contestants have better dance resumes than them, most kpop dancers wouldn't even be good enough to be contestants. 
It's the connections of SM that give them the place nothing else, it's not about talent. When you join a big company their connections give you access to a lot of things that others don't. Talented people there are plenty everywhere. You want proof ? Look at park bom, CL ex YG career right now, look at Fx Luna career right now. They suddenly lost their talents when they left YG and SM?
SM was much more dominant in earlier gens, so that many famous idols who have now reached the age where they can be respectable judges that are clearly older than all participants (say: above 30) are from SM.
Once 3rd gen has aged and stopped being active in their group, expect BTS, Twice, BP, MAMAMOO members etc to also be asked for these kind of things.

I never said it was solely based in talent, actually, in my first comment I mentioned popularity and connections, the two os them. Sm provides more longevity to their idols (with the price of a slave contract 
), so while 2ne1 was popular back then, their brand power isn't near SNSD members, so it makes sense SNSD members are the choice for judge/mentor gigs. I don't see trainees mentioning 2ne1 as their role models as much as I see them mentioning SNSD.

Tbh those aren’t really great examples because even while part of their labels none of them really had many side gigs outside music.
2ne1 barely ever appeared on tv or interacted with other idols so none of them built a name for themselves. Bom only significant TV appearance was for Queendom which was waaaay after she debuted. CL did even less. Dara had some gigs here and there but nothing to the the level most other idols including form smaller companies were doing. Minzy had nothing and a reason why she left. Ironically after leaving YG Minzy has been on tv the most of any member.
Fx Luna had the least jobs in fx while others were acting or going on shows. Once fx was over she didn’t have anything to fall back on.
