c) I simply don't care whether users have a "problem" with ~/.config containing many files, it's a directory for applications, not for the user
I don't think this is much about "scaring the user" but how we behave wrt and align to xdg habits. To mie it seems the directories (most of them) in $HOME/.config specify the company name and there's indeed even a "kde.org" directory (contains marble, phonon and kcmshell stuff - no idea whether that's dated)
plasma-workspace related applications could redirect that to some ~/.config/plasma/ dir and if google starts using KF5, they'd naturally want to redirect that to ~/.config/Google - but I would argue that stuff that writes via KConfigGroup is (w/o further specification) "related enough" in managing it's config through KDE technology to write into some "~/.config/kde" dir.
