LA is 15M? They obviously didn't leave anything out in SoCal. Probably included inland empire, all of Orange County, and maybe even San Diego
Also, for SF, they probably excluded SJ and/or parts of East Bay
And Houston is significantly smaller than Dallas?
Meanwhile, they're using Canadian and Mexican definitions of urban areas, which are calculated based on different rules than the US census uses (although frankly those rules are silly). If Toronto were calculated like an American metro is, it'd both be well over 6 million, and have a lower density then described. As is, it appears to exclude Oshawa and Hamilton.
