Nonsense.

You have to go out of your way to not find the initial companions by basically not doing any sort of exploring. Shadowheart is right down the road near the giant crypt doors if she's not on the beach so you can't miss her unless you bee-line directly through the Intellect Devourers.

Same with Lae'zel. She's on the path to the grove and you can see the Tieflings at the edge of the screen as you pass near the area. Gael is only missable if you completely ignore the waypoints. Wyll you only miss if you never go to the Grove and Karlach is only missable if you never go across the broken bridge.

Again, you have to put in effort to not find these people. If you aren't exploring, that is your own fault.
This will surprise you, but I've seen a lot of people say they missed X or Y. Consequently, rather than turn up my nose at them, I've accepted this as a problem (one you can find in most games).

(Also, no. She's with the druids if you got my bugged problem. Chillin' on a bench. I searched the whole beach, the whole area. I couldn't find her. I had to look up where she could have gone because I feared she was dead somehow).
