Devices are not showing logged on users

The logged on user shows in Intune. Why they can't show it in Defender is just stupid games. I asked for the documentation explicitly stating this limitation.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with Defender for Business and the Intune management of the Security Baselines, ASR rules, Firewall, BitLocker, etc. It's all pretty solid.
It's the little things they do, like this, to keep this sku different from P2. It's just annoying.

But it's also not even considered P1 (even though it has every bulleted feature). Take Device Groups for example (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/machine-groups?view=o365-worldwide). It requires Defender for Endpoint P1 or P2 but it does not work in DfB.
