Nitpicking: there are application outside of KDE Application that let
you access fish://, for example Krusader.

But still, there is nothing wrong in installing only kio-extras from
KDE Applications and nothing else from it.

If an app developer wants to integrate WebDAV with the help of KIO,
then kio-extras will be a run-time dependency, so there's absolutely
no reason for having kio-extras in Frameworks.
