This is still WIP, but will definitely get an option before it's enabled by default. I too much prefer apps just following my configured placement policy.

It's an issue from a change made a year ago, which you were just unlucky to hit (and indeed mostly hits Arch, because of live updates).
It's been fixed in 6.4.1, won't happen again.
It was just moved into a separate repository, nothing's changed about it
Then just change the rule to not include the debug console...
There are for-profit companies that hire devs to work on open source projects?
Tons of them, yes. Most big companies you know even - Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, RedHat/IBM, Valve, Intel, AMD, even NVidia.
Are they earning money with something else or how do they make money from this?
Some of them do support contracts (RedHat), some make money with data server services (Amazon, Google), some sell hardware and the software is drivers, or an incentive for people to buy more hardware (Intel, AMD, NVidia).
In Tech Paladin's case, Valve uses KDE software on their Steam Deck, so they want it well maintained, features they like added and bugs they care about fixed. To make that happen, you have to either hire people yourself, or pay another company to take care of it. Valve does the latter with a lot of the open source projects they use.
TV manufacturers are part of the ~~cartel~~ HDMI forum, which benefits from there being a big ecosystem of non-member devices that are forced to have HDMI ln them and pay licensing fees for it.
Yes, it's a bug that was fixed in 6.3.2
why is Xwayland not just automatically shunting the actual directive to set the permission over to xdg-desktop-portal, which you say can correctly handle this, on kde.
It is doing that. It just doesn't give the portal any information at all - neither that the request is coming from Xwayland, nor what X11 app is trying to emulate input.
Like I said, the feature has been really poorly thought out.
How can it be the case that XWayland can grant you an app temporary permission, but not permanent?
It keeps the handle around until the X11 app's process exits, then it's gone. It's how all on-demand permissions work, unless you do special stuff to restore it later without user interaction.
that or Bazzite is doing some kind of special something that others are not.
Yes, they patch permission prompts out entirely. They do that on their KDE edition too.
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome has actually properly been updated to handle this, whereas xdg-desktop-portal-kde has not.
No, that's completely wrong. Like I said, Xwayland doesn't remember the permission, which xdg-desktop-portal-kde would very much support.
You get the exact same prompts every single time on Gnome too.

No, it doesn't start another gamescope. It starts a second Xwayland in the same gamescope instance.
