SUMMARY
In kcm_autostart's +Add Application... Choose Application dialog, you have to double-click to open the categories and choose a program, but if you browse the file system, a single click opens folders and chooses an application (if you haven't changed KDE's General Behavior "Clicking files or folders").

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run System Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Autostart, click [+ Add...] > [+Add Application...]
2. Choose a program by navigating the categories
3. Cancel and repeat, this time choosing a program by browsing the file system.

OBSERVED RESULT
Navigating the categories requires double-clicking to open a category and to select a program, even if Systems Settings > Workspace Behavior > General Behavior is "Clicking files or folders" "Opens them" which is the default.

EXPECTED RESULT
Category navigation should match the "Clicking files of folders" behavior from General Behavior.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.82.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2 , 64-bit Wayland

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Choose Application dialog is implemented by kio which seems to hardcode the double-click behavior, https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blob/master/src/widgets/kopenwithdialog.cpp#L736 . I don't know what other compoments use this KOpenWithDialog() dialog.

Expanding the categories on single click seems reasonable to me
