Stating the obvious, but are the devices in question targeted for Defender AV policies? Are they checking in?

And the Defender AV assignments?

Then the next logical thing will be to check what is going on the devices in question. Check if the Intune AV policy is assigning or not. Try to establish what is different from the other devices. Alternatively, open a case with MS. This may require a deep dive.
