Well, the main consideration is a profile is not only used by stand-alone
Konsole, but also by konsolepart. . 

Just consider all the options related with tabbar, menubar, titlebar again.
They do not make sense for a konsolepart embedded in
dolphin/kate/kdevelop/yakuake.

So the general idea is to make those options global so that they are Konsole
only. That decision not only make the concept more logical , but also is
important for cleaning up some weird code.

In short words:

per-profile options : influence the behavior within one tab/session
global options : influence the behavior outside of tabs/sessions in stand-alone
Konsole

I'm not sure whether there is strong need for that level of flexibility. Most
users in this report just want the titlebar to show window title independently
upon the tab title format. Since the window title is controllable through
escape sequence, users already have some flexibility.
