On kde I can have a bottom bar plus a top bar that is only in the middle not the edges, I like the notch look, only way I can get a top bar in gnome is slightly notched it still goes all the way to the edge. Or I can have no bottom bar and then I can have the top bar centered using gnome to panel, but I like having both. Its just annoying to get exactly right unlike kde, but has more extensions I like right now.
Idk, im having issues with extensions not working after reboot, like arcmenu, which i need for gnome to be usable, so far now ive swapped back to plasma.
They make a desktop which is opinionated, and in some ways pushes things forwards. For example it is nice to not have to always deal with the awful Start button metaphor.
On the others it can be a constraint. Only wanting to support the modern icon tray lead to years of having to use an extension for all the software that didn’t.
And that’s fine. That’s why we have KDE and XFCE.
I personally much prefer the Gnome flow which gets out my way, and find KDE to feel much more archaic. I don’t want docks and bars, I don’t want the desktop to be more than a place to hold my applications.

And Gnome is probably not for you.
