Not sure why OOM killer targetted plasmashell with a score of 0 this week, instead of one/many of the 34 chrome(ium) instances with a score of 300, or another 8 chromium instances with a score of 200, eg:

Well, plasmashell consumes much more real memory so from this listing it is logical. oom_score_adj is not "OOM score", it is a hint.
