Any specific examples of programs that are missing? Are they "standard" applications or ones installed from the Windows Store?

Per Microsoft: The Win32_Product WMI class represents products as they are installed by Windows Installer.
Since there are other installers/software-packagers (InstallShield, Wise, NSIS [Nullsoft Scriptable Install System]) that apparently don't register themselves in WMI (since they may predate it) I guess we have to query in multiple locations :(. Standards are changing, as IT always is so this is just the reality we have to deal with. As you've already mentioned in a comment you can query the registry in these locations for all the other apps:
HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall &
HKLMSOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall
I guess WMI queries registry at this location: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTInstallerProducts
Here are some links with additional info:
