Thank you for reporting that certain sites aren't being flagged as having 2FA available. 1Password's Watchtower uses the repository at https://2fa.directory/ to know when a site supports TOTP-based two-factor authentication. It then uses this knowledge to present users with a notification to turn on 2FA for that website.
I've taken a look and I see that every website in your list but Canva.com
is listed as not supporting TOTP-based 2FA on https://2fa.directory/. If this is in error then I recommend submitting a report here: Contributing to 2fa.directory

I do see that https://2fa.directory/ does list this website as supporting 2FA in certain regions and I've flagged this to our development team to look into further. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Even if a site isn't flagged by Watchtower, you can use 1Password as an authenticator app for that site as long as it supports TOTP-based two-factor authentication: Use 1Password as an authenticator for sites with two-factor authentication
