:bind keyword in use-package defers execution of the config snippet. So,
with :bind, you first have the (use-package org ...) executed, loading
org.el, and only later, after you press C-c a, :config block in
(use-package org-agenda ...) is executed and `org-modules' is changed.

If you check the docstring for `org-modules', you will see "Modules that
should always be loaded together with org.el." However, your config
block is executed _after_ org.el is loaded. So, changes to that variable
have 0 effect and org-habit.el is not loaded.

You should set `org-modules' _before_ loading Org. Or you can load
org-habit in more traditional way, via (require 'org-habit) or
(use-package org-habit).
