I don't see why everyone else who was present but not the light warriors is forgotten, it never mentions that. Infact they're clearly remembered, with the GC leaders as examples.
I could be mistaken, of course. You might be RPing out all the story missions and being the hero of Eorzea and have been all chummy with the NPCs.
Warriors of Light as it is used in FFXIV isn't really as significant of a term as it is in previous Final Fantasy games. The starter NPCs pretty much go out and say that the adventurers--all of them, as a whole--who went to the Battle of Carteneau that they are unable to remember are the 'Warriors of Light,' and it has to do with the fact that when they try to recall memories of them, its like trying to recognize someone standing in front of you with the sun behind them. It's fuzzy.
It's not a term that's reserved for the 'heroes of legend' as it were. It's a term that is used to, in general, refer to all those adventurers who vanished after the Battle of Carteneau.
Regarding why the time-warped adventurers were forgotten and not the Grand Company leaders, I'm sure through the story this will be revealed. Bear in mind we're only seeing a part of the overall story; we still haven't got an answer as to 'why.' It's also just not the faces of the adventurers that are forgotten, but the events of that night and all that transpired as a whole.
