How apps that deal with activities will work on? they will just
silently ignore activities?

I feel like this is still Plasma feature bad mouthing. To you it is somehow a 
feature because you think activities are bad, so that's why you list it as a 
feature, but honestly it is also a feature of GNOME Shell and almost every 
other single desktop environment out there, and they don't announce it, why 
should you?
