--- Comment #2 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
The triangle menu algorithm is still needed for people who do turn
switch-on-hover back on, or else it offers an even worse UX for most of them.
I think the key point is this:

The problem here is that there's a whole universe of people who consider
themselves power users and really aren't, and when they shoot themselves in the
foot, it really is lethal because they don't have the skills and knowledge to
make it a non-lethal shot. This generates invalid bug reports, complaints on
social media, support calls to technically knowledgeable family members, bad
reviews on YouTube, and so on. All of these have costs.
Some of this is unavoidable in the interest of providing a powerful and
flexible system for experts. But by the same token, sometimes experts need to
understand that there have to be some guardrails for people who are not
experts. It's a give-and-take.
So while I can appreciate and empathize with your perspective, I don't think we
can remove the triangle menu algorithm for the case where people turn
switch-on-hover back on, sorry.
