Loco Translate has no problem extracting strings from _e function calls like the ones shown in your screenshot.
There’s nothing in your linked issue that demonstrates a failure to extract the specific text you mention, so I cannot guess at the reason you say it can’t be seen. Please provide something I can reproduce.

Assuming we’re talking about this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-products-filter/
The en_US.po file contains the strings mentioned in your report. “price range”, “orderby”, “price low to high” and “popularity” are all available to translate.
However, this file name is not conventional for a POT file and needs to be configured in the bundle settings, or you can just use the Copy function to create new language files from this template.
So I don’t see the issue that Loco Translate cannot see these strings. However I do see that there are source files in this plugin over 100KB which is the default maximum for source extraction. Anyone generating a template would need to increase that. However no users should need to extract strings if the provided template is valid.
