He didn't claim it didn't. He explained how the presence of an Nvidia card pulled in through dependencies what I assume to be a general package for 'managing' all repositories
Moreover, it has never happened before. Also, I use the same type of NVIDIA card in several machines.
You said you installed a new machine with a fairly new OS. Surely that is a time you might expect to see new things?
But I cannot understand how this is related to the card, since all repositories are reset to not keep the downloads.
Andrei explained it rather clearly I thought.

Hello!
Yesterday I installed and configured a new machine. This time I chose openSUSE 15.5, which may have been a not so wise choice. - Let us
see.
- Normally, the first thing I do before applying any update from the repositories is to configure the system so that the downloaded
packages
are kept, in /var/cache/zypp/packages. From there, I can copy and download them for future installations with no need for a connectivity. This is my normal procedure.
However, after having configured the repositories the way I have always done, I got the message for each and everyone of them: "Repository X is managed by service 'Y' Your manual changes might be reset by the next service refresh!"
Upon looking into /var/cache/zypp/packages it turned out that there was nothing there - the system had not kept my downloads.
I have never asked a "service" to manage the repositories and reset my chosen changes!
Why does this suddenly happen?
You have an NVIDIA card that results in the openSUSE-repos-Leap-NVIDIA package as recommended and openSUSE-repos-Leap-NVIDIA pulls in the openSUSE-repos-Leap package as a hard requirement.
What do I have to do in order to delete these infamous "services" once and for all so that they do not reset my changes - something I absolutely do not want.
Remove openSUSE-repos-Leap and openSUSE-repos-Leap-NVIDIA and lock them.
