Under this logic, there should still be the option in the KControl GUI to 
enable hover-close buttons in Konqueror, because I used them and so did many 
others. But the feature and option was deemed confusing and unneeded for the 
majority of people, and removed from the GUI (still available via 
KConfEditor). I am fine with that since I am an advanced user and can enable 
it myself.

As everyone knows, KDE already has way too many options. Stuff for andvanced 
tweaking like this doesn't belong in KControl, it belongs in KConfEditor. 

Doing this is not saying that "we know better" or "this is the one true way", 
it is saying that "this is the best way for most people, and we know you are 
smart enough to change it via KConfEditor if you can't live with it".
