(Why I booted the various ISOs (20.04.5 with 5.15, 22.04.2 with 5.19, and 23.04 with 6.2) under the same settings which had wifi..)
IF the WLAN/RF_KILL can be toggled with a keyboard combination & I accidentally hit that, that for sure is possible as the keyboard isn't full size & I'm mishitting keys regularly on this device.
The fact that 7/8 boots of mantic give me no WIFI is inconsistent I know, but I can't rule out me making mistakes on the keyboard. I'll endeavor to explore this later today.

(a quick boot & look on installed system, and I don't see any, nor on https:/ /helpguide. sony.net/ apmig/vaio/ htmlmanuals/ 20122Q/ SVS1/eng/ contents/ 03/13/01/ 01.html ... quick exploration of keys & I didn't see any extra written to dmesg |grep RF_KILL)
