Not all are fully open source.
Not all devs care about the main repo.
No one made a Request For Packaging for those apps.
I think the best solution for making it easier to find and add repos is improving the add repo workflow in āManage Reposā. There are some issues about that in the fdroidclient tracker. Managing lists of URLs is much better handled by other tools, like wikis, etc. A list built into the client would just be harder to manage and often out of date.

The repo that I run hosts Signal, whose developers are needlessly hostile to F-Droid:
We can include Signal in F-Droid - #13 by fd-fan
https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37
How to get Signal APKs outside of the Google Play Store - #20 by moxie0 - Android Feature Requests - Signal Community
And uGet, which has not submitted itself to F-Droid. (I also believe it has non-Free components in its default build, but a libre build is possible if Iām reading the gradle files correctly.)
