Just made clean installation of macOS Ventura from USB stick over Big Sur, preserving Bootcamp partition.
I was really surprised, seeing that the Apple OS kexts are not signed and not loaded (most of them).
Is it normal situation, or should I immediately wipe out this installation?

It doesn't mean anything at all. Eugene left the chat almost 9 months ago. Your metacarpals will turn to dust long before you ever manage to "clarify" anything to cyber-stalker. You will fail - guaranteed. He will be back in a month, or a year, asking about kernel extensions, ClamXAV, EtreCheck, with a new alias if this one gets banned too. The only winning move is not to play. Do not respond. Do not challenge. Do not insult. Do not engage at all.
If you sincerely want to try anyway, I would humbly request that you do it in Usenet, where you and his other disciples can spend your golden years in endless rounds of mutual insults and stalking side-quests.

It's normal. The operating system lives on a cryptographically signed snapshot. For compatibility reasons, there are stubs of various files in the normal filesystem. But the actual executables aren't present. Therefore, when you check the code signature, it fails. But that's OK, because none of these extensions are actually loaded from those locations. They are loaded from one of the other system locations. That's why none of those extensions are reported as loaded, because they aren't. But if you check using kmutil, you'll see that many of them actually are loaded.
If you turn off SIP in Recovery Mode and then mount root you can write to any folder including /System/Library/Extensions
Just how concerned about that should one be, Eugene?
Are you still concerned about matters?
I have the exact same on my 2017 27" Intel iMac. It's normal.
Most kernel extensions load as needed.
They don't need to be signed.
This was the duplicated post
Not really sure what that means

My response was to TopGun2 about eugene. The post was made just yesterday.
Apple kernel extensions are not signed after installing Ventura on MacBook Pro
