It is not very logical to associate a display manager with a desktop
environment in the first place.
GNOME display manager is not logically associated with GNOME Desktop
Environment? If that's the case, it makes it even more illogical that
GNOME display manager is default for KDE Desktop Environment. Either we
have a neutral display manager that works well for them both (it doesn't
in this case since there is a regression in functionality inflicted by
our defaults) or we install whatever display manager goes well with the
desktop environment.
