Comment (by Iceland_jack):

 Maybe this is expected (please close if so), without `print-explicit-
 kinds` I was surprised to see many pages of seemingly unrelated instances
 (more than I posted in this minimal example).

 The information for `*` lists no instances nor does
 [https://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-prim-0.5.0.0/docs/GHC-
 Types.html#t:TYPE Hackage], I suppose I expected the same.
