One of the key arguments people had then was because it would have led to seriously inconsistent behaviour between plasma components and the desktop. 

Aurelien is fixing that by also proposing to patch KDE libs, which turns my personal opinion from a definite "no" to something I'm happy with.

This is useful when the widget is focused by default, and also gives another opportunity to the user to read the message before typing, removing the need for workarounds  like clicking in another text entry to bring back the clickMessage.
