What's the problem with that exactly? You can still switch back to a different
application with Alt+Tab, and you can switch to a different window being pulled
to the front with Alt+Grave.

(From the thread on GitHub
https://github.com/nclarius/kwin-application-switcher/issues/2)

The idea is that the implementation would be moved from a KWin script, which
just picks up a signal that a window was activated and catches up on the other
ones, to the task switcher itself, which knows what keys are being pressed and
could decide whether or not to also bring other windows forward on its own
accord.  

But what you're saying is that the functionality should be ported to core KWin
for the task switcher component but deliberately be broken in the case of using
Alt+Grave in conjunction with Alt+Tab, and I'm not sure that's what most users
who would like to use this option would expect and want.

(Also from the GitHub thread)

Why? What is weird about this option?
