Because of a missing tags in the AppStream metainfo file (that was added in PK 1.2.8), PackageKit is shown as user uninstallable in GNOME Software and other GUI/TUI package managers based on AppStream metadata. This is incorrect and potentially dangerous. The issue was already fixed in upstream. Please, consider backporting this fix into OpenSUSE as a downstream patch until a new PackageKit version gets released.
