I agree that this discrepancy is weird, but I am fully convinced that Plasma 
_should_ ship with basic applications. GNOME does that. XFCE does that. 
LXDE/LXQt do that. Could it be that Plasma is the only major desktop 
environment that doesn't ship basic applications with it?

I'm okay with putting KTp in Applications for the time being, but the goal 
should be to either bundle existing applications with Plasma or create new 
ones for it (I'm thinking of the likes of Jungle and Koko and Bangarang, and 
hopefully a simpler but more visually pleasing QML file browser at some 
point).
