--- Comment #4 from benjamin melançon <[email protected]> ---
I think we gave the reasons clearly, but to give more detail:

When beginning from normal home row typing, sliding the thumb from the spacebar
to Alt is natural, as is moving the ring finger over to Tab.  To then press
Shift as well requires a full relocation of the hand so the middle finger can
reach Tab and the ring finger can take shift.

OS X has implemented a solution that people are likely to discover
accidentally, and then save a great deal of time, as once discovered the little
finger or the ring finger can press shift without having to move the middle
finger over.  (Just to state explicitly, the ring finger staying on Tab and the
little finger pressing Shift is not something my hand, at least, can do with
any degree of comfort.)

It absolutely is a nice-to-have.  Whether it is feasible with how shortcuts
work in KDE i don't know!
