That's kind of correct. However, as I understand the consensus and policy has been established already on Wikidata to have category sitelinks with category sitelinks, and ns0 sitelinks with ns0 sitelinks on separate items. The problem arises when that happens, that they are not "Interconnected" on the wikis, making them "separate" and the users on the wikis (Commons and Wikipedia) goes against WIkidata-policies and add these category site links to article items. So, if there was a technical way to ensure that category items with "Main topic" was treated as a "Normal sitelink" when displayed on Wikipedia and Commons in the left menu, but leave them as separate items on Wikidata, then all would be fine. (if the process to "create" these wikidata-category-items were easier thatn just add them as sitelinksto the subject item) perhaps.
The only work would be if you wanted that the property Common category would be treated as an interwiki. but as there is a technical valid solution without this new development, I don't see the point to make a new development.
Well that property, and "Main topic" property on category items be interconnected as a sitelink but...not...
Currently a lot of Wikipedia articles could have links to Commons, and a lot onf Commons categories could have links to WIkipeida, but Wikidata is failing to serve this as "wanted" for the wikis needs.
