Has there been anything in the default Fedora themes, other than starter
icon, splash and wallpaper, that differs from upstream? If yes, I've not noticed.

Full stop good! Breeze is KDE's first and only default theme I can remember
objecting to. Its kaleidescope splash/wallpaper is childish & creepy, while
its monochrome remainder is poor in A11Y/U7Y aspects, no white, and apparent
black isn't even close to genuine black where used for text, emulating
widespread awful current web styling.
