I looked into the git/svn history and this actually is from before my time (lol), and a remnant of the fact that in the initial design by Torben, desktop files were a kmimetype-subclass which reimplemented a virtual method to read the description from the desktop file. I don't think there was any real thought being that, more of an object-orientation accident. I'm fine with this going away.
