The examples in a, b, c are not minimal pairs. For non-experts it is difficult to see what is going on.

It depends. If the data comes from fieldwork and it’s difficult to get new data (or new “clean” data), no. If Steve has data that’s minimal pair like sure.
Overall, minimal pairs are cute, but hardly needed to make the point, except that they ensure against claims of non-representative sample(s) kinda thing.
My 2 cents,
Best,
