I think the point was that many people just don't care... their eyes simply glaze over

when you get into the minutiae of it all.  In any event, it's really amusing if you do 

a Google search, the first hit says:

"KDE is a powerful graphical desktop environment for Unix workstations."

Here is a screenshot for your amusement:  https://goo.gl/photos/smu2Zem1So2pD9669

So if you're concerned about misinformation, someone needs to work on that.

 

Interesting to notice that one side you don't care about what upstream says
about Plasma and KDE, and on the other side you want to exactly follow what
upstream ships in some of the many products. Konqueror is not part of of the
releases of the desktop anyway.

The thread was about changing default applications.  To change a default, you need

a compelling reason.  

 

My point is: even upstream does not really want to push for a browser or
another right now. There is a (maybe just prototype) of new browser
investigated, but really really an experiment. No one in KDE community will
complain if the default browser of a "KDE-based distribution" is not Konqueror.

I haven't seen anything that implies that Konqueror isn't the designated browser for KDE;

just the opposite - there is a dearth of information on the web that implies otherwise.  However,

if upstream wants to clarify that, I would think they would just put out a notice here:

https://www.kde.org/applications/internet/konqueror/

In any event, I still believe if one has an issue with the performance or capabilities of a particular

application, the place to discuss that is with upstream.
