Often with newer UI frameworks like that used by plasma, basic interactions with familiar widgets just don't work as expected. It's the same argument levied against any non-native app whenever this comes up, whether it's QML or Electron or whatever. As a concrete example, the KDE application menu will close whenever you move the cursor off of it onto another window, unlike any menu in any other desktop UI widget toolkit [1]. So from some users' perspective, things like the move to plasma can seem like little more than a series of UI regressions. The basics just don't work so well any more, and the only upside is maybe slightly prettier graphics. It can be disheartening. Here is an application menu from KDE 1 in 1999 which I am sure worked just fine [2].
