keys.openpgp.org is a very opinionated keyserver run by the Sequoia
project (with their "Hagrid" keyserver software). Its operational logic is
differente from most keyservers as they are a _validating_ keyserver, so
they will "comb through" your key, and only accept the bits from it they
deem as adequate. Particularly, if you haven't verified you control the
mail addresses for your subkeys, they won't have anything but a record that
it exists (and thus, any subkeys without an email-bearing UID won't be
useful).

Of course, https://keys.openpgp.org/about/ has better, more authorized
information on their operation 🙂
