There is an old saying:  "The path to hell is paved with good intentions..."

People can wax poetic about the reasons but that doesn't change the fact
that the functionality
is gone; people have noticed and aren't at all pleased. Telling an end user
that they have lost functionality
but hey "the behavior and scope..." isn't going to fly.  Their eyes will
glaze over and they'll say WTF?

If Plasma5 gets into a major distribution (such as Fedora) without this
being fixed you ain't heard nothing yet.
Queue the GNOME comparisons, etc. etc.

Luckily it appears the KDE team recognizes this is a bit of a foobar and is
working to correct.
