For technical reasons the OSD is not able to recognize any (global) key or 
mouse click events on Wayland and on X11 only with a huge amount of nasty code. 
Also I don't think that this is a solution to the "annoying" - if I watch a 
video and change the volume through kdeconnect I don't have a keyboard.

Anyway I would dismiss the "annoying" argument all together. If I compare to 
the amount of OSDs my TV, audio receiver is putting on the screen this is a 
really good OSD.
