I repeat: the $SUBJECT behavior has occurred on two different installations, one Friday, one Sunday night. zypper dup excluded kernel on each, which is SOP here. Latest prior kernel was 5.17.9 on the Friday PC, 5.18.2 on the later. rpm -ivh caused the 5.18.9-2 installations that removed all the older kernels.
Was rpm updated recently causing random behavior change by any chance?
A new (since previous dup) version was installed, 4.17.0-9.1, 2022-06-29 10:04.
