When I log into any of the Linux machine and type "w" it does not list the

How exactly did you log in?
I'm not sure if my knowledge of these details is correct, but I thought
that programs like "w" look at the utmp file which is these days handled
by systemd-logind. So I would say that whether the user should be listed
also depends on whether the login creates a logind session. Notably "su"
does not create a session, but e.g. ssh or login through the text
console does.
Typing "loginctl" should give some info as well.
