If this defaulted to off, then it would actually be useless.

Would just be the other way around with what posts you see online. Instead of OP you'd see "how can I find my newly installed apps" and the same "ahem" screenshot reply.

    Except that if people don't know the feature exists, they might not ask about it. If you see the feature exists and you don't want it, it is easier to figure out how to turn it off.

    There are many feature that are turned on by default - this is just one of them.

    I see plenty of posts here, on the kde matrix, on the kde forums, on the bugtracker asking for non existing features.

    I have no clue about the exact percentages, their motivations or feelings, so it's hard to conclude anything.

    Personally, I more often ask for nonexistent features (and i feel no barriers there) than turning off something that is on by default - which is a good sign I guess?

    But you don’t see all the people that does not ask for features, but could benefit from them. I worked IT support for years and I often suggested features or different workflow to users because I could see they were doing things that could be done easier.
