You shall have another bug for that other change too.

maintainer is not god. Decisions are to be taken for the betterment of the
distro, not based on preconceived judgments.

And dismissive comments like "And I use the client now since 2016 under KDE.
And that without any problem" when someone is trying to help improve the
package (at least in their opinion) voluntarily will simply turn off potential
contributors with skins thinner than mine.

CC them on this bug and let us have a discussion on the best way forward then.

IT JUST IS NOT.

The problem is that the recommended package will be installed by default. So,
users who aren't aware of what causes this issue will have no idea they need to
uninstall this obscure package named "libcloudproviders-whatever" just from
seeing the client launched automatically without their consent.
