The branding does a major disservice to this application - it works like a charm on my windows and i3wm setups, having no trouble sharing a clipboard and files. There are very few features if any that only work on KDE.

Sometimes on windows it needs a click of the refresh button to get going after connecting to a network. The discovery is wonky on some platforms.

KDE is simply the 'community' that maintains it, makes sense why that's the branding used despite the inevitable confusion

(the DE has been called Plasma for ages, and almost everything KDE works outside of it)

Its been plasma since 2009, a year after KDE 4 came out and they rebranded a bunch of their projects. Whether 16 years amounts to "ages" ig is up to interpretation.

Yes, but all the people who use it still call it KDE. At least in my experience.
