Is that a problem for you too? Am I missing something?
Did few high-quality web 2.0 on Wordpress.com and all links are indexed in Google, however, none of these links are showing either in GSC or Ahref. Links are few months old and got +30 RD.

The problem is just with the wordpress.com extension... the others are working good. Are these links denied by Google or is it just that wordpress.com has blocked crawling bots?
 
I noticed this too, but I tend not to look that much into GSC or ahrefs. If they get indexed, Google counts them. So I`m more focused on building more rather than watching how and when they show up

How can you be sure they are counted? Maybe they ignore all links for this platform because Google knows it's spammed as shit.

That wouldn't make any sense. There are worse platforms, way spammier and they show up on GSC. They don't influence rankings, but they do show up. At the same time, I know for a fact that I can see links boosting a term before I can actually see the backlink in GSC, so the algo will record the indexed backlinks even before adding it inside your GSC. Also, many people go for low strength keywords with just web2.0s.. some of them use just wordpress because that's the most comfortable for them. And it works:) So the domain surely has at least some strength in it.
 
GSC doesn't show all backlinks. I rely on GSC, Ahrefs, and Majestic when I want a clear picture of the backlink profile of a site.
