We need to manually do this by creating a PlasmaShellSurface, like with all other custom window types we have but Wayland doesn't. Like OSD, Notification, Panel, Dock. By using KWindowSystem it's just the easiest way.

They can show tooltips just fine. Just the compositor (KWin) doesn't know it's a tooltip window and cannot apply special magic for the tooltip window.
