Keep in mind we're talking about a terminal here, which may often be called by
scripts.

I believe the intended use-case for --hide is scripts that want to present
effectively a popup message, possibly with some limited interactivity, but
where menubars/tabbars/toolbars/scrollbars don't make sense as the window isn't
intended to be on screen long enough for them to be actually needed.  Which
makes the extra bars, etc, just more visual clutter.

In some cases these aren't per-profile options so without the commandline
--hide-X options they'd have to be toggled globally, and the user may not want
that globally.  Where they are per-profile, a single monolithic script file
with a few extra characters on the konsole call line explicitly toggling off
the <whatever> is a *lot* more convenient than having to worry about an entire
additional custom profile file, located in an entirely different directory from
the script, as well.  (And that's assuming the profiles are contained in a
single per-profile file, which I'm not entirely sure of without having to
verify, but which I believe to be the case.)

Certainly that's why I make use of such options here, even if it's just for my
own use on a single computer.
