The history works ok for me.

"Please note, customers will only be able to view this information if they
have purchased pay as you go credit (including Auto top-up) from Oyster
online."

So, not available to many, including me.

I wonder what the rationale is there - I had been pondering that it
was some sort of systems issue (that I couldn't quite decipher), but
actually I wonder if it might not be more of a safeguard to ensure
that those who have access to an Oyster card's journey history really
are the bona fide holder of said card. Something to scratch my head
over...

(Anyone tempted to say something like 'they just want to make things
difficult for you' shouldn't, for it'd be an intellectually vapid
comment.)
