> May I ask what's the reasoning behind falling back to the group popup dialog?

The overall idea is to show something that allows you to pick one of the things
in the group when you click it. It falls back to the dialog when it can't do
Present Windows because the user disabled the effect or compositing is
disabled, as explained earlier.

I think you're confused about the "window thumbnail previews" being somehow
related to clicking in any way. It's a tooltip. It shows on hover. Tooltips are
optional (they can be disabled both in the applet settings and globally for all
of Plasma), the click behavior isn't.

It's what the old KDE 4 Icontasks in KDE 4's kdeplasma-addons did (which I
didn't write), and since the impetus was to bring it back for users who liked
it, the behavior was preserved as is. Installed base and what they're used to
matters (unlike, say, what Windows does).
