Explanation

The Global Inventory List (GIL) is only available when multi-vCenter SSO domain linking is configured. In VMware Cloud Foundation, the management domain vCenter is deployed first and becomes the root vCenter for global inventory data. For workload domains, their vCenter Servers must be registered into the same SSO domain and linked with the management-domain vCenter in order for the global inventory data (VMs, hosts, clusters, content libraries) to appear. If a workload domain vCenter is not SSO-linked, it operates in its own identity domain, and therefore cannot access or present Global Inventory, resulting in exactly the symptom described: the management domain vCenter shows the GIL, while the workload domain vCenter does not.
