Well my purpose will not be to convince you in something ;) It's your
application and so your decision how to do the things :)

But in my case I have a couple of Vaults in other places in my home folder...
They are created either by directly using the cli of encfs or by other
applications like cryptkeeper, kencfs-plasma etc.... I want them to be listed
and accessible in one interface though - preferably a KDE app and I want them
to stay where they are (not to be moved to some hidden folder)... Sadly kencfs
has problems, so I was happy when I first saw Vault. But next the lack of
adding already existing vaults was a turn off.. 

So having Vaults in other places locally is a valid use case IMHO... 
Even if that place is not local but a cloud... no matter of the security
implications.. it should be a valid case too... 'cause I think one of the most
important reasons users still stay in KDE is the vast options of configuration
of almost all things in it... as opposed to GNOME.. where it's more like a
disaster when trying to configure something ...

If you ask me KDE is all about tech savvy users :) But this dbus call... well
it is too tech savvy.. People either have to go through the code carefully, or
have to see this bug report where you mention the dbus call ;) or of course go
through all the dbus interface of kded5.. Anyway as @Nate Graham said.. why do
something so functional that would stay deeply hidden ;)

Sorry for the long post... It has nothing to do with bug reporting I know...
but couldn't help expressing my opinion...
