Fully agree with this opinion.

It worked smoothly prior to this, and was non-complex, and straight forwards.

It's like one step forwards and two steps back, for something that worked fine
without "improvement".

I might have to file a *separate* bug report, for even in 21.12 there still
exists a bug with the notification tray that freezes up the entire session when
trying to compress file via Dolphin's context menu. :( It was interrelated with
this bug, from what I recall. It's unclear if the process crashed or if the
compression was successful.
