Because I missed it.

Yes, that's a good approach.
But when I find something what I miss in my daily usage of KDE, I try to 
improve that.
I did not implement it just for fun, but because it improves the usability.
Example: I press ALT-F2, thinking I had previously entered an address here, 
and try to find it with a few "cursor up" presses ... Oh, it isn't there, OK, 
let's enter it manually ... Hmmmm the textfield is filled. And here is the 
situation why I miss this button.
