My desktop is hidden by all the open apps all the time. Sure you can get there via the file manager, but it’s just another folder. And sure you can deliberately minimise all the apps. But the content is, by default hidden, and not in your face, to be stumbled upon like an inbox. Desktops can only contain closed files, and are a flaw in the UX logic.
No flaw. But KDE has a method for users like you (and me) that prefer our desktops empty. I forget what it’s called but you can set your desktop to have no icons and no folders.

What’s a Desktop?
Never use it mine is completely empty, no files, no launcher, panels (3) all autohide
Workspaces are my jam 3-6 depending on machine & distro
A self imposed organizational scheme of what goes where
If it all goes wrong banging the cursor in the top left tiles…

Yes. I use that option. But as I rarely see the desktop, hiding any files or folders makes little difference to using Plasma.
No clue what you just said but ok 👍
