--- Comment #235 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
If this were clear-cut, it would have been done ages ago. Instead we have a
trade-off to make:
1. Add the feature for only KDE apps, and then your non-KDE apps will display
all their formats incorrectly, or at least inconsistently
2. Stick to the status quo of consistent systemwide formats, but without this
desirable feature
3. Attempt to work upstream to change the whole world so that we can have all
of the upsides with none of the downsides

You're not wrong that #3 is unlikely, which effectively makes it a #2.

I understand that you personally might prefer #1. However at the moment KDE's
developers do in fact want to have KDE's apps play nicely with the world around
them. This is far from something we ignore and is in fact a big deal to us.
It's why we have a nice-looking GTK theme, a GTK settings synchronization
service, a first-class implementation of the portal system for sandboxed apps.
It's why we work upstream on wayland protocol work rather than just using
private protocols and calling it a day and why we just implemented support in
Plasma 6 for the FreeDesktop standard sound theme spec.

You might personally prefer that we had different priorities, and that's fine.
We can't make everyone happy. But we can explain our reasoning and hope that
people can accept that sometimes there is no ideal solution and we have to pick
from among a menu of imperfect options.
