Most writers and artists jumped back and forth between DC & Marvel. However there are a few that stayed at one company for the majority of their careers.
DC: Curt Swan. Jim Aparo. Dick Dillin. Joe Kubert.
Marvel: Stan Lee. John & Sal Buscema. Herb Trimpe. John Romita.
Those are the ones I could think of right away. I know there are others? Please add to the list.

Rags Morales has never done anything for Marvel. I think.

John Buscema worked for a lot of companies before he came to Marvel (there's about 18 years between his first comic work in '48 and when he came to Marvel in '66) and finished his career doing a DC project... so I am not sure it is fair to say he was purely a Marvel guy, though he is most identified for the period of his career he was at Marvel. Kubert's the same, he spent a lot of time at other companies before coming to DC (especially at St/ Johns, but a fair bit at Lev Gleason as well) and did a fair amount of work at Marvel in the 90s (usually inking one of his sons on their books). Romita did a fair amount of work at DC doing romance books before coming to Marvel as well. So a lot of the guys listed in the OP really didn't stay at one of the other, but moved where the work was, but their super-hero work is most associated with one company or the other, but that's not the same as staying at Marvel or DC exclusively. -M

Rags Morales has never done anything for Marvel. I think. According to GCD, he drew a few Avengers stories in 2014.

According to the invaluable Mike's Amazing -- a godsend! -- Joe Sinnott inked ten stories and inked one cover for DC between November '57 and June '58 and contributed as one inker among many to a Superman-Spider-Man team-up book in 1981.
Otherwise, between March 1951 and April 2008, he worked only for Marvel.

Some others that settled in at DC and only occasionally ventured outside from the Silver Age on include Murphy Anderson, Bob Oksner, and Nick Cardy. I can think of a couple of Marvel covers that Cardy did, but I don't think Anderson or Oksner worked for Marvel in the 60's, 70's or 80's. Mike Sekowsky had a lot of Marvel credits before his long run in Silver Age DC, then did a few Marvel books in the early 70's before leaving comics (mostly) behind. Once Bill Everett came back to comics in the 60's, I don't think he worked outside Marvel until his death.

José Luis García-López supplied one piece of Wonder Man artwork for OHOTMU. Otherwise, he's never done any work for Marvel.

Marvel: Stan Lee. John & Sal Buscema. Herb Trimpe. John Romita.
Those are the ones I could think of right away. I know there are others? Please add to the list. Aparo came from Charlton, with Dick Giordano. if you are counting only after leaving previous companies, than yeah, DC oly. Kubert did publish Abraham Stone through Epic and Malibu/Platinum Editions and also did a Tor thing through Epic, when Carl Potts was editing the Heavy Hitters line. Dillin came over to DC from Quality, continuing Blackhawk, and had also worked for Fawcett and Fiction House. Romita did romance work at DC, in the 50s, before going back to Marvel, after previously work there when it was Atlas. The only mention I can find of Swan doing ANYTHING outside of DC was illustrating Larry Niven's "Man of steel, Woman of Kleenex" for Penthouse Comix. Stan did do the Stan Lee's Just Imagine, at DC. Bob Oskner did Marvel Boy, for Timely; but was exclusive to DC for most of his career in comic books. Sheldon Mayer worked All-American/DC from his start until his retirement.

I'm not sure working for just one company is really a thing people do... Devin Grayson is a more modern writer that sprang to mind... I though the only non-DC stuff she did was a short Black Widow run, but there was a few other random things as well as the X-Men:Evolution comic (based on the cartoon).
I don't think Hickman has cursed DC with any work, but he's certainly been plenty of other publishers beside Marvel... these days it seems the good writers use Marvel and DC to gain a following for their own properties, so I think you won't find anyone after, oh, 1995 or so that was only one company. Bendis was the last one (and only if you don't count his Image/indy stuff before he made it big)

One of the reasons I'm not very fond of OHOTMU: they'd go to the effort of getting interesting artist choices on specific characters (like DC did in WHO'S WHO) and have them draw a static pose intended primarily to display the costume design. Yeah, if you look closely, you can spot Swan in the face here... ...but overall, the stunt fails, and with Joe Rubenstein's inks providing a consistent look, most of the characters might as well have been drawn by Al Milgrom. I mean, here are three more examples from the same issue. I'd be very impressed if anyone here could identify the penciler without resorting to either looking up the artist or remembering who drew what. These are three very distinctive and generally well-known artists, two of whom are not known for doing a lot of Marvel work:
