Is this an issue with openSUSE, or is there a reason KDE’s named these so differently?

I’d say it is the distro, since they are the final arbiter on the package naming for their stuff.
All of the kio packages I have available have dashes instead of underscores.

But I am some person on a web forum (even a moderator elsewhere, where their kio packages all use dashes), which doesn’t make me an expert automatically.

Sure, but then there are these:

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/audiocd-kio/

The distros do what they want, but usually have some internal guidelines. It may not be trivial or worthwhile to change some things that have had a set name for a very long period of time, perhaps.
