That would also make it very difficult to *not* install it for those who
have a good reason not to.
As per Debian Policy 7.1:
Recommends
This declares a strong, but not absolute, dependency.
The Recommends field should list packages that would be found
together with this one in all but unusual installations.
What is so unusual about your installation that you decided to disable
installation of recommends?

This list is meant for user support, mostly by other users. It's only
role in relation to bugs is help reporters find the correct (or at least
close enough) package to report the bug against, when this is not
obvious.
Filing a bug[1] is the preferred method to reach the Maintainer and at a
minimum it helps documenting the issue.
[1] Not that I would recommend (ha!) filing one for this particular
case. KDE Maintainers already receive more reports than they can handle
and for any such "please upgrade to Depends" reports there will be
another person requesting the exact opposite.
Kind regards,
Andrei
