See the user option visual-line-fringe-indicators.  I'm guessing some
of these buffers have it set so as to disable the fringe indicators.

What matters is the local value in each buffer, not necessarily the
global value.

That's because the default is not to show the indicators when
visual-line-mode is turned on.  Emacs tells you so in the *Help*<2>
buffer you show in your screenshot.
