Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

Kde 6 seems to be bug fixes and tidying up some menus. I'm not sure why it's getting so hyped.
The migration to Qt6 and the work being carried out on Wayland, which is all going into Plasma 6.0, is going to allow massive changes that will be introduced over the 6.x series. There are some pretty cool features in 6.0, but the bigger changes will come over the next few point versions.
I agree with you on this, but I feel we should highlight that there is a big difference between "is being implemented" and "will be implemented".

If you read back Nate's blog. He explains everything that is going on under the hood.

It is unlikely you will see any of these updates in Plasma 6.0, as they are more proof of concepts than finished, tried and tested features. But you will see them introduced over the next versions in the 6-x series.
