This bug was fixed in the package update-manager - 1:20.04.10.5

---------------
update-manager (1:20.04.10.5) focal; urgency=medium

  * UpdateManager/backend/__init__.py: Really make commit_oem a no-op in the
    base class to avoid crash when people force synaptic backend (LP: #1913732)
  * Fix typo in previous changelog

update-manager (1:20.04.10.4) focal; urgency=medium

  * Revert previous change to UpdateList.py, as it breaks kernel
    autoremoval (LP: #1912718)
  * UpdateManager/backend/__init__.py: Make commit_oem a no-op in the base
    class to avoid crash when people force synaptic backend (LP: #1913732)

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  This is a regression from bug 1902025, causing kernels to not be autoremove{d,able} anymore

  [Test case]

  Have system with old kernels around.

  Check that kernels are listed as auto removable in update-manager.

  [Where problems could occur]
  Clean revert of 1902025, so will revert us to the state from before that

  [Original bug report]
  Before introducing bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1910556 that bug didn't exist -- I can toggle these checkboxes and they will checked by default.

  After fix of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-
  manager/+bug/1910556 checkboxes for "Remove old kernels" are not
  checked anymore by default and I can't check them. If I run update-
  manager from console, nothing logged.

  Screenshot and video when I trying to click on checkboxes attached.
