That makes no sense. Anyone who uses a mixture of SSD and CSD apps has to
accept anyway that CSD apps look different, and offer different features
(typically less features, only the lowest common denominator of minimize,
maximize and close) from SSD apps. (Even if you were to only use CSD apps, CSD
apps written with different toolkits will look and possibly behave different,
one of the downsides of CSD.) That this also applies to this particular
feature, shading, doesn't make anything worse.

Meanwhile, AFAIK, KDE stuck to SSD in part precisely because it's possible to
offer more features and customization than with CSD. And CSDs aren't all that
prevalent under KDE. KDE apps and (most) Qt apps use SSD, even non-GNOME GTK
apps like GIMP and Inkscape use SSD under KDE. The most prominent apps that use
CSD by default under KDE, browsers and VS Code/ium, can be easily configured to
use SSD. GNOME apps are the only ones I've encountered that can't be configured
to use SSD, and there's rarely a reason to use them under KDE, as there's
usually a better KDE or otherwise non-GNOME equivalent.

Even if it can't work with CSD windows, it makes no sense to reject a patch
that add it for those of us who would like to use it with SSD windows. Are you
going to remove the ability to add "Keep above" and "All desktops" buttons to
the titlebar too, because they won't be available on CSD windows anyway? I hope
if someone would otherwise implement it, he'll still do so, and publish it as a
soft fork.
