Fair enough.

In my opinion, we cannot lose potential contributors, so this should be
fixed centrally. Currently, people would need to apply a symlink workaround
to be able to contribute to such KDE projects where it applies (i.e. not qt
only projects).

Couldn't the PATH search be a fallback if nothing else works? Do you have a
better approach to fix this issue centrally and aid the KDE contribution?
