I just finished Glass Onion and at the end credits it had all the actors who were in it but only Kate Hudson and Dave Batista had the prefix of “with” before their name. Is there a reason why only they get it?

Short version: They will “feature” the name to give and get as much credit as possible, while acknowledging that the role played by that actor doesn’t justify a headline.

Longer version: Your primary cast is usually listed in order of either the character’s order of appearance or importance (when listed in rhe end credits with the names side by side).
In the opening sequence (and sometimes on posters and other maketng media) you will see the names as a factor of the character’s importance and the actor’s rating / star power / whatever you want to call it.
Sometimes you have a big name in a fairly small part, either a cameo or just someone who accepted a fairly insignificant role, so it doesn’t make sense to list the actor’s name alongside those who portrayed the main characters. However, they also can’t just be dropped into the rest of the cast because the film can’t risk the name getting lost when they want to bank on it as much as possible.
