From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's not a KDE specific issue, it's Qt defaulting to the default ugly old Plastic theme.
KDE uses Qt, but unlike GTK, Qt isn't made for KDE. Qt have their own defaults that are generic and doesn't make any assumption about running on KDE or Gnome. And Gnome doesn't bother providing any configurations to Qt, because they live in their own GTK bubble where nothing else matters. Adwaita just happens to be the default GTK theme regardless.
Ideally, your distro would take care of setting a saner default Qt theme. There's even a Breeze theme for GTK, so they could set it to that and everything would look nice and uniform.
