Can reproduce. Interestingly it's different in KRunner; there the KCM is shown first. I wasn't aware this kind of divergence in ordering could happen anymore, which is troubling.

Seems to me it does exactly what it is expected to do?

When the command line krunner module is active you get command line commands as potential search output. And in your output list 'sddm', the command line command, is the best match because it is exactly equal to the search term. The KCM meanwhile is not exactly equal as it is not called 'sddm'

FWIW for me the divergence between Kickoff and KRunner is gone now, and in that now-consistent state, I agree with Harald. This is user-fixable by making "System Settings" a favorite category, which AFAIK we do by default.
