I'm going to probably get a lot of hate for saying this, but this isn't a good idea imo. GTK theming with large changes does break apps, but also a desktop should not be forcefully changing the appearance of apps, that's not what the job of the desktop is and denies the chance for an application author to make their app look how they want. macOS, Windows, Android skins etc do not skin third party apps (HTC tried and got in trouble) and Windows/Mac wouldn't dare ship with a Qt theme.
If a user decides to change it for themselves that's fair game though.
For balance, GNOME does not set any Qt theme settings (or GTK ones).
Is KDE slowly being influenced by GNOME and beginning to take options away from the user?

I agree. Why not let the user change it?

The user after the install is still free to change the defaults to whatever they like. This just ensures you get a more consistent feeling desktop experience from the get go if you enjoy using some GTK apps. Nothing is taken away from the user.

Desktops will stay fragmented.
