Cause
Workbox - Host Plugin is not enabled and is the dependency for these third party apps.
From a Confluence Support Zip, application.xml will show the app as only Installed instead of Enabled:
<key>com.atlassian.mywork.mywork-confluence-host-plugin</key>
<name>Workbox - Host Plugin</name>
<status>INSTALLED</status> Solution
Enable the system app Workbox - Host Plugin via Confluence Administration > Manage Apps
