Ok, I'm a 20y user of KDE, and a massive supporter. I still got the app version from apt (apt-get at the time) and framework version and still submitted bug reports - after registering and installing symbols to get decent backtraces. I even helped some people improve their forum posts by showing them how to get the relevant version numbers.
There was a change, it was unhelpful. There were reasons, it was to do with changes in versioning on plasma frameworks - I could look up the details, but that isn't really important a few years hence.
The jist of my comment is that structures within an application can help us non-programmers to make useful bug submissions; I cited 2 examples from my real life experience.
Hopefully we agree on the basic premise I set out at least?
