I figured it out (had to take a look at the smart_home.py code in HA).
It has to figure out how to categorize a sensor (for Alexa) as CONTACT or MOTION sensor.
It Looks at a sensor’s device class, and only looks at a limited number of device classes:

if attrs.get(ATTR_DEVICE_CLASS) in (
        'door',
        'garage_door',
        'opening',
        'window',
):
    return self.TYPE_CONTACT
if attrs.get(ATTR_DEVICE_CLASS) == 'motion':
    return self.TYPE_MOTION

My binary sensor was not any of these device classes so it wasn’t discovered.
Once I changed its device class to “opening” then got discovered.
