How have you ended up with -hwe kernel getting installed anyhow?
Default behaviour of particular install iso image?  Because clicked some
option somewhere?  Some sort of 'unintended/accident' and only later
found the consequence of k5.8 auto-installing?  Using a non-standard
ubuntu install image?   This situation will need investigating as we
don't want similar mess occurring in another 6months when following HWE
kernel goes into 18.04.3 and so-on!...

I'd prefer that 20.04.2 provided users option to install with kernel
5.4LTS and stay there for older hardware.  I note, ubuntu-derivative
LinuxMint have decided to do this and not by-default follow the HWE
chain, but providing an initial -edge image with kernel 5.8 for those
who really need it.

May be better that those on older hardware move back to LTS 5.4 kernel
and not keep following HWE?  May be that legacy drivers can still be
bought forward to further HWE kernels all the way to the final HWE
series...?  We will see, I guess, but I'd like to see these
breakages/messes avoided ongoing.
