You hold the community of KDE users in higher esteem than the KDE devs themselves, or so one might deduce from

and the fact that the feature is "on" by default.

Oh, and by the way the default theme and look has blown up since Plasma4 days.

Right. That's also how we like to handle spam, isn't it?

Here's a thought. People who upgrade without doing a clean install PROBABLY expect the experience to be as uneventful and life-changing as possible. 
With the main highlight being less bugs and hoops to jump through. (Case in point: I loathe and fear updating my OS and prefer by far to do self-built point upgrades from which I can easily roll back.)

The fact that this is rarely the case anywhere is no excuse.

Exactly.

You could still ditch the DE, if you can find one that can handle your multi-monitor set-up properly (some things you said before suggest Trinity might be a good alternative for you) ;)
