One good reason is only kde apps will use this scheme and non-kde apps
will use the more generally accepted min/max/close scheme.  Not a very
good setup.  Sure, there could also be a matching theme for gnome, but
that still doesn't cover it all.   I don't know about everyone else,
but I use several non kde/gnome apps on a regular basis.  So it seems
the current setup is optimal.  We can't assume everyone is only using
kde apps so they are given consistency by default and the option to
change it to match their preferences.
