Attempting to install drupal/kint through composer currently links to drupal/devel, which once provided kint as a submodule. It hasn't been provided for 5 years and no currently supported versions of drupal/devel contain kint.
Due to this naming conflict, drupal/kint now requires installation via the package name drupal/kint-kint.
Devel developers are also perplexed by this: https://gitlab.com/drupalspoons/devel/-/issues/549
composer show -a drupal/kint
