The third one is the easiest to explain: no one has needed it.
I don't know what intents or runners are and why they need the binary name so
that they won't fail. Why is the binary name important? Aren't any of the
other arguments important too? Please describe what you need to accomplish,
not the solution that you think will get you there.
"Intents" reminds me of Android, which doesn't use XDG so it's not relevant.
"Runners" reminds me of KRunner plugins (they're called "runners") which are
found by .desktop files, but they are plugins so they have no Exec= line.
