Stupid? I think we can save the abusiveness, or not.
"One can even install the meta package first and then remove those applications that are unwanted."
Correction: One can "ONLY" install the Full bloatware meta package first and then remove those applications that are unwanted. There might in fact be some secret-sauce-incantation that might allow one to avoid this, but it certainly isn't, in any way obvious.
Since, achieving obviousness through irreducible complexity, is the holy grail of user friendly operating systems. Then, I guess some of you non-stupid people need to get back back to work because you are certainly missing your mark. At least that is, until you reach the point to where when you take a deep breath, your not feeling a tight warm and wettness around your heads, and are smelling your own crap.
If KDE is going to follow in Microsoft's footsteps. Then maybe they should continue to force feed everyone their extraneous add-ons, then magnanimously offer to allow the end user a configuration option that will remove the executables link icon.
