Your output of apt autoremove you showed later shows that it works:
Found kernel 5.9.0-5-amd64(5.9.15-1)
Found kernel 5.9.0-4-amd64(5.9.11-1)
Found kernel 5.9.0-2-amd64(5.9.6-1)

Automatic kernel removal is part of autoremove, or apt{,-get}
{dist,full}-upgrade, not any other commands.
Not sure what's up with aptitude though, that does not
remove the command (sample from my Ubuntu system). I assume that's what you normally use and where you expected the removal to happen?
root@jak-t480s:/etc# yes n | aptitude remove
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libmysqlclient21{u} libmysqlclient21:i386{u} libphonenumber7{u} libsnmp35{u} libsnmp35:i386{u} mysql-common{u}

This is odd, why does aptitude see it blacklisted, and apt not? Need to do some digging at some point.
