I have:

I just checked, and none of my machines have /etc/nsswitch.conf as a symlink. This includes one box that was fresh-installed as F30 (approx).
The fresh-installed box had a bunch of files in /etc/authselect.
The others, just:
[mrsam@monster ~]$ ls -al /etc/authselect/
total 32
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 Jul 17 19:30 .
drwxr-xr-x. 212 root root 16384 Jul 17 19:37 ..
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Mar 31 07:36 custom
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1783 Jul 17 19:30 user-nsswitch.conf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1783 May 22 09:25 user-nsswitch.conf.bak
All of them have authselect-libs installed.
I must say, none of that makes any sense to me.
I just installed a new VM using Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-30-1.2.iso. Even the live image has /etc/nsswitch.conf as a sym link
to /etc/authselect/nsswitch.conf
I use XFCE, but it probably should not matter.
And when I connect with that newly installed VM, without having done any updates, I see.
[egreshko@f30k ~]$ ll /etc/nsswitch.conf
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 29 Jul 19 06:25 /etc/nsswitch.conf -> /etc/authselect/nsswitch.conf
and
[egreshko@f30k ~]$ ls /etc/authselect/
authselect.conf dconf-locks password-auth system-auth
custom fingerprint-auth postlogin user-nsswitch.conf
dconf-db nsswitch.conf smartcard-auth
So, it is hard for me to understand how your results could be so different than mine unless you've then made changes to your
system out of habit.
Maybe you can double check what version of fedora you actually did install at the start? Assuming the logs haven't been
overgrown you can do "dnf history info 1'.
dnf? Phffff, yum!
My oldest records mention fc9 but the system was probably installed earlier.
The first mention of xfce is as fc16 packages.
It is possible that I switched to xfce a while after installing the system.
Still, I did a reinstall of glibc which did not change the situation.
