Anyone have any thoughts as to why this is?

I’d suspect the:
LOCK ASSEMBLY, BACK DOOR, WITH COURTESY LAMP SWITCH
You can open your hatch and try exercising the latch with a screwdriver, pushing it to the extreme end to see if the switch engages to turn on the lights. Maybe try to spray out the gunk with WD40. (Press the hatch release button and pull the latch down with the screwdriver before closing the hatch).
Worst case, get a new assembly. Pop off the plastic cover from the top with a trim tool. Three external bolts and removal internally behind the inner hatch cover.
Good luck and give us a report when you’re done.
