Thanks. So it seems as follows, correct?

This here bug report refers only to running under Xorg in Focal, where ...
- the OSK does not work at all on the properly supported devices (at least the 
ones listed), 
- neither per autosummon nor on demand by swiping, 
- regardless of a physical keyboard not being available. 
This is a regression compared to Eoan.

However the OSK is working in Focal as expected [1] on Wayland, on
supported devices where the physical keyboard gets properly disabled.

As far as I know, it is not expected for autosummon to work for
KeePassXC etc., but in this case I can summon on demand in Wayland by
swiping from bottom of screen. (But can't under Xorg)

[1] It seems it is expected that even in Wayland the OSK is only available when 
the physical keyboard is disabled, according to discussion on this gnome-shell 
report:
"On Screen Keyboard shows up on Wayland despite there is a physical keyboard"
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2353

The above gnome-shell #2353 is linked from the gnome-shell report that seems to 
be related to the issue in this here bug, as @esjarc mentioned in the duplicate 
Bug #1874017, i.e.:
"OSK isn't activated without physical keyboard"
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2378
