But my question is about how this soft block is actually originating? The computers are remotely managed kiosks. There is no keyboard or mouse for someone to enable a software soft block by hand.

Check your /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state file and see if WirelessEnabled=false. systemd-rfkill seems to check that file and soft block your interface if found. Set to true and see if that fixes the issue.
