I do not think the upstream KDE project is positioned, structured, and responsive in a way that makes sense for an Enterprise distribution.
For the record, I disagree. ;) But at least outside the openSUSE community, this opinion is likely reinforced by not-so-stellar defaults offered elsewhere (for example a certain very human distribution).
subtract from my opinion that KDE upstream makes things harder than necessary to live with them.
Being a collective of different maintainers, it depends. The Plasma team has been pretty responsive in general (median response, before anyone picks a single maintainer out :P), and the fact that we built Krypton and Argon made things even better, in particular during the Leap 42.2 phase[1]. With smaller teams, it helps engaging them as a downstream (but the maintainers themselves, not KDE as a whole). I've done this more than once. So, IMO having it as default helps making even KDE software better. (I won't go over the contents of the original post, that regardless of DE provides only opinions.)
