  I don't think that's true by far. Leaf classes are obviously more common and it makes sense just to declare them as soon as possible. Note that override entries will disappear as soon as they're already overriden.

  It's been like this since early KDevelop 4, I wouldn't change it now, especially not with the current state where the abstract ones are just hidden.

  Do you have a proposal? Otherwise it's just bit-rotting...
  
  Personally, I just see this as a regression from switch to clang.
