My initial attempt to google this was unsuccessful (most people point
out the write protect tab, not my problem).

Bad switch on the write protect tab? (The tab operates a tiny switch.)

thanks

I started playing with my Pine 64+ quad-core ARM64 board again
recently.  I have a 16GB Samsung EVO microSD card I was using
previously.  I started out by zero'ing it:

  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=1M status=progress

which seemed to finish fine.  But when I remove and re-insert it, it
still has data on it.  Double-U Tee Eff?  I have tried the same
process on three different machines with different methods of
connection (in an SD adapter in a USB-SD reader; in the SD adapter in
a laptop SD slot (probably still USB internally); and directly in a
microSD slot in a second laptop).

I get no warning about being read only.  The writes seem to occur
successfully and fully complete.  I sync before I remove the media,
plug it back in and all the old data is still present.

Any similar experience, and/or clues for recovery?

Thanks in advance.
