I think it must be clear to everyone by now that this is just not going to
happen?

This has become comparable to the breakage of (properly functioning of) KDE
applications on Macintosh after the 4->5 transition where the old
`KStandardDirs` (or some such name) was integrated as `QStandardPaths` in Qt5
but imposed "native" locations on Macintosh (and MS Windows). Qt refused to
consider any way to make them compatible with XDG locations, and KDE never
bothered to update the build system to use non-XDG locations on "non-XDG
platforms".

Qt's argument there was "we have to respect the Apple and Microsoft app store
rules"; that's probably moot for platforms that can run full KDE desktops so it
might be possible to pay Qt to fix the bug. Or someone can implement the
necessary changes and try to jump through the loops of getting it accepted via
Gerrit.

In the meantime there's always the option to find another DE that works
acceptably and figure out how to use KWin as the window manager (or compositor
under Wayland). Exactly what I'm doing on this (older) system that still has
KDE Plasma4 installed.
