Hy,

Intune Management Extension: 

IME is responsible for running PowerShell scripts and Win32 app deployments, so a device will first become the IME after a proper app or script assignment.

The IME Service only runs when device configuration policies, Win32 app or Scripts deployments are targeted to the device

So it could be possible, that the system with IME running has received a policy or app assignment which triggers it, while the others have not yet triggered IME because no applicable policies or apps are assigned (or successfully targeted) to them yet.

Device Only licensing:

these are intended for devices that are not user-affiliated, such as shared devices, kiosks, or hotdesks.

MDMURL blank:

dsregcmd output can mean the device is only enrolled in device management mode (device-only enrollment) without full MDM configuration profile or user MDM enrollment.

Questions:

Can you try to make an app deployment to those devices?

Check the Events under Event Viewer > Applications and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > DeviceManagement-Enterprise-Diagnostic-Provider

Good luck!
