I'm not sure whether this setting should influence KWin. It's for desktop behavior, not window manager behavior.

That setting doesn't even cover apps, only plasmashell. 
The title of that KCM was unfortunately renamed to be confusing. 

What concerns me most is that this is probably just requested as a workaround for the bug about showing tooltips when we have an open menu.

At first I tried to disable the tooltips as a workaround, but I opened this issue because I was expecting that the aforementioned setting was made to toggle all tooltip, including those in the window decoration.
