I would change `<name>System Settings</name>` to `<name> KDE System Settings</name>` or `<name>Plasma System Settings</name>`, just like GNOME sets a name like "GNOME Videos" instead of "Videos" in their metadata.

Not at the moment... Discover can use the compulsory information to group the components into a "System components" group and it could also use the AppStream ID to arbitrarily override component names. The AppStream metainfo data is intended to be completely desktop agnostic and reliably the same on every software center, that's why we don't allow apps to change names depending on which software center they are in. However, software centers may use the compulsory information to actually completely hide components from foreign desktops, so not having a KDE prefix may not even be necessary. I am not sure if GNOME Software actually hides the apps based on the compulsory information (as this may also cause problems, e.g. I would consider Dolphin to be compulsory for Plasma, but GNOME people may potentially also want to install that file manager, so hiding it in GNOME Software may actually be wrong here).
