I confirm this as a bug, too. 
(Sorry, I don't see a "me too" feature on this bug site and not sure the
correct etiquette.) 

Besides it being a problem that it's not configurable/customisable, in my
opinion it's also a really strange choice: 

Default keyboard-only combo to change desktop is Ctrl+Meta+arrows. 
Default keyboard+mouse combo should be Ctrl+Meta+Scroll, by direct, obvious &
discoverable, analogy. 

I appreciate that Ctrl+Meta+Scroll is already taken by Accessibility's zoom
feature. 

Strangely, setting the zoom feature to use Meta+Alt+Scroll doesn't override the
desktop scrolling keyboard+mouse combo (which is a surprise given that it's the
Accessibility section, so I'd expect a user's needs to take greater priority
than desktop shell defaults). 

This has bugged me since my first day of switching to KDE/Plasma a few months
ago, but I never got around to trying to configure it because I've stopped
virtual desktops (mainly because the shortcut combo is weird and I keep zooming
by accident). Switching keyboard modifiers when using keyboard alone or
keyboard+mouse has really broken my mental model of keyboard shortcuts habits.
If I press keys to change desktop, I expect the same keys to do the same thing
when using the mouse scroll wheel. As they don't, I just don't use virtual
desktops, because I need things to work predictably so that I can focus on
whatever tasks I'm actually doing. 

To block accidental zooming, I've set the zoom shortcut to
Meta+Ctrl+Alt+Scroll.

Regardless of if the default is changed (which for Accessibility purposes, I
understand if it won't be), this shortcut should absolutely be customisable!
