No. Seriously, it is not.
How short have you been an internet user?
No browser works on 100% of web pages. A second browser is a standard troubleshooting reference
Web developers can still install it (not that anybody actually cares for an outdated rendering engine). For normal users it is just confusing. It's usability 101.
Installed by default browser count isn't about developers. Web developers need at least one variant of every major browser installed. That so many don't is a big reason why some much of the web is incompetent or otherwise difficult to impossible for many to use. Normal users are the ones vexed when encountering web pages that don't work. Try browser bar if browser foo doesn't work is the first thing various forum supporters for decades have suggested to anyone complaining web page baz does not work.
Btw: Are you an actual openSUSE KDE maintainer?
This might matter why? I'm a tester with hundreds of openSUSE (plus other distros, but more openSUSE than all others combined) installations, someone who on real hardware only for going on two decades has been spotting and reporting bugs that maintainers and developers miss. Back to $SUBJECT, until upstream KDE drops Konq from its default package selection, in the opinion of many including myself, it belongs in every KDE-providing distro's default KDE selection, whether or not any other browser is installed by default along with KDE. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
