This is not a bug but by design. Not every user has or needs a home directory, and not every installation has home directories in /home so if you're adding a user that should be able to log in, then you should create it. If you're not familiar with creating a user, https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-create-users-in-linux-using-the-useradd-command/ has a good walk through of it.
