It only lists applications that have the INTERNET permission. It also doesn't list some applications that use Tor in their own way such as Tor Browser. Unless you have an app installed that doesn't meet this criteria and it is still unlisted then that is, in fact, a bug.

Hello. Just from curriosity, why is TorBrowser excluded from showing up on the list?

Connecting additionally thru Orbot could give an additional layer of connection privacy, aspecially a backup connection in case that the other has dome kind issues (for example becones suddenly interrupted)
