Separate sensor files not including?

I’m trying to organize my files but for some reason the include directory isn’t working for sensors.

I’ve already done this with automations, and it works great:
!include_dir_merge_named automations_yaml

Now I want to do it for sensors.

If I try and import sensor files using a directory, this doesn’t work (but passes checks no errors):
!include_dir_merge_named sensors_yaml

But if I maually specify exactly one file, it works perfectly
!include sensors_yaml/rtl433_mqtt_acurite_tower_sensors.yaml

What is going on here?

Here’s the contents of the file sensors_yaml/rtl433_mqtt_acurite_tower_sensors.yaml:

# Outside Front Sensor
- platform: mqtt
  name: "Outside Front Temperature"
  state_topic: "homeassistant/sensor/rtl433/Acurite_tower_sensor/14084"
  unit_of_measurement: '°C'
  value_template: "{{ value_json.temperature_C }}"
- platform: mqtt
  name: "Outside Front Humidity"
  state_topic: "homeassistant/sensor/rtl433/Acurite_tower_sensor/14084"
  unit_of_measurement: '%'
  value_template: "{{ value_json.humidity }}"

# Outside Rear Sensor
- platform: mqtt
  name: "Outside Rear Temperature"
  state_topic: "homeassistant/sensor/rtl433/Acurite_tower_sensor/9972"
  unit_of_measurement: '°C'
  value_template: "{{ value_json.temperature_C }}"
- platform: mqtt
  name: "Outside Rear Humidity"
  state_topic: "homeassistant/sensor/rtl433/Acurite_tower_sensor/9972"
  unit_of_measurement: '%'
  value_template: "{{ value_json.humidity }}"
