It's up to apps to add this themselves. What KWin could do is add an "exit full
screen" button to the window titlebar, if it were made to appear when touching
the top of the screen, as you suggest.

It does. The message box says:
"use the window operations menu [], activated using the Window Operations Menu
(Alt+F3) keyboard shortcut."

This works for me, and seems more like an app bug than a design decision or a
KWin bug. It needs its own bug report; can you file one, and be specific about
which apps are affected?
> - Fullscreen disables hot corner effects like Overview.
This is user-configurable; see System Settings > Workspace Behavior > Screen
Edges > Behavior: [ ] Remain active when windows are fullscreen. It was
disabled by default to avoid interfering with full-screen games.
The only actionable thing I see here is to make the window titlebar appear when
touching the top screen edge, and put an "Exit Full Screen" button on it. That
seems reasonable to me.
However it's possible that this won't be feasible, since it could interfere
with full-screen game windows. You don't want a window titlebar to appear in a
game when the pointer touches the top screen edge. And there may not be able to
detect "I'm a game, don't do that".
