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:

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

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

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.
