Hi Amanda,
Please note that Upwork is an online marketplace, through which users can connect to enter directly into service relationships. Through the marketplace, clients directly engage and pay freelancers to perform services. Upwork acts as an escrow agent and passes funds from the client to the freelancer. That's why we don't believe a W-9 is necessary.
Upwork provides 1099-Ks if appropriate to freelancers if certain conditions are met. More information is available here.

Upwork has an entire section on P.O.s:
https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/211068198-Add-PO-Numbers-to-Invoices
If I don't have an Upwork W9, I can't create a P.O. in my organization's system. If I can't create a P.O., I will no longer be able to spend the thousands of dollars on projects that I have been spending.
So, what's the solution? Just to tell companies and nonprofits that you can't give us the documentation we need to continue working with UpWork?
