Reminds me of the libinput mouse acceleration situation. Even now that they support more configuration for mouse acceleration, a lot of desktop settings UIs abstract it all away to the point where the actual effect of a setting change is impossible to discern from the UI.

It's do-it-like-Apple disease. Apple gets away with it because they hire the best designers and do serious UX/HCI research. And even then the Apple experience is a blend of sublime wonderment and intense frustration.

By contrast, the level of care for the user and open configurability and KDE makes it the best desktop environment on Linux.
