Brand new to the website; should be informative. I think in the first diagram for the C7 major chord the high E string should be shown as “play open” – not muted.

There’s no right or wrong really. The “E” is still in the chord on the 2nd fret D string. It’s just preference whether you add the open E as well.
My reasoning is just that this shape is very commonly used as a moveable chord so most of the time it’s just played with the outer strings muted, by habit.
