> What's the user-facing impact of this?

As I said, some users use third party programs to get their tablets working.
When they do so, it's up to this program to map the handedness, orientation and
input/output area of the tablet. Right now, this cannot properly function
because `kcm_tablet` also provides handedness and orientation settings; but the
most important user-facing impact of this is being unable to map the output to
a certain display area, such as a window, a window region, or a region between
two displays (if for some reason there's someone with this kinda use case).
`kcm_tablet` doesn't support any of those use cases, and third party software
like OpenTabletDriver usually factor in all the monitors' position, orientation
and size to calculate display areas, X11-style, and therefore the input will be
spit out in absolute coordinates relative to the total graphical real estate
available to the user. When KWin maps this "absolute input" to be relative to
just a display, things break and the user (me) gets really confused.
