How is it adult if most of these titles were released in Weekly Shonen Jump? Berserk seems to be the only Seinen title on this list.

What's aimed at kids in Japan would generally fall under the adult age rating in America due to culture differences on what content is acceptable to kids. In this instance adult graphic novel just means anything that isn't aimed at kids such as Dogman.
More puzzling is clicking the link to ICv2 and seeing Invincible isn't listed under the superhero chart but the "author graphic novel" chart. Meanwhile Avatar the Last Airbender's comic IS considered a superhero graphic novel.
In short I think these chart rankings are just arbitrary at the end of the day and whatever they want them to be.

Why did the article omit Solo Leveling's slots?

I agree. I just find the juxtaposition jarring.
