Discord doesn't send you member information directly, users don't have a special endpoint for this like bots do. Instead, user accounts need to subscribe to member events to piece it together, and as you can see from other issues, this functionality is currently broken.

The functionality works ok-ish most of the time, you just need to properly configure the GuildSubscriptionOptions or manually run guild.subscribe() for every guild you want members from.

2.0's guild member fetching will be far more robust.
