Essentially, Canonical no longer wants to support the 470 series driver.
[Action Required: Ubuntu to retire Legacy NVIDIA Graphics Drivers 470](https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/action-required-ubuntu-to-retire-legacy-nvidia-graphics-drivers-470/77725)
The push took a lot of Linux Mint users by surprise as Update Manager doesn't exactly warn you what the update is going to do. I only caught it because Plasma's Discover breaks the update down to all its components and I noticed the 535 driver in the list.

There are workarounds. Just follow the links for assorted suggestions.
Now I just need to figure out how to get Discover to put the driver update on hold...
Thanks Canonical. It's nothing at all like you hate your users or anything of the sort, it just happens to look like that and be like that and definitely feel like that... we must all be mass-hallucinating this quite odd situation.
