SUMMARY
SDDM login dropdown list for Plasma/Wayland defaults to Wayland every time.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Boot device
2. Look at dropdown list in SDDM/login at top-left
3. Select regular "Plasma" (X11) and log in.
4. Reboot/logout to get back to SDDM/login.
OBSERVED RESULT
Wayland option is selected instead of your last X11-based choice.
EXPECTED RESULT
The last choice should be remembered. Wayland should NOT be default to begin
with.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/WaylandByDefaultForPlasma
I saw it stated in here that Wayland is now set as the default option with
5.20+.
In my view that is a HUGE mistake. Based on my own experience
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=429967), Wayland is NOT ready to be set
as default. I have NO intention of ever using it in its current state. I've
tried it maybe once a year for a few years and I have not seen it progress at
all in terms of usability.
The ONLY reason I created that earlier bug was because I had NO idea I was
using the Wayland environment because I never had to make that choice before in
the past. Now I have to make regular Plasma/X11 choice EVERY time I need to log
in.
****If you're going to insist on Wayland being the default option, then you
must set that field as a remembered property so when the regular X11 Plasma
option is selected, it doesn't have to be selected again with any subsequent
login.
