SUMMARY The vast majority of KDE users enable "tap to click" in touchpad settings (https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/mwnqfc/laptop_users_do_you_enable_tap_to_click_on/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) In order to have a better first boot user experience and avoid unnecessary setup after installing Neon it would be wise to have "tap to click" enabled by default in both Plasma and SDDM.
Reassigning to Plasma, this makes sense for all distros.
Plasma should not override libinput defaults.
In other words, this should be done at the libinput level. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues/

Nah. Either libinput can be convinced, or Plasma can be, but doing it for neon alone is cookie cutting and has a firm -1 from me. Neon isn't generally in the habit of overriding the decisions of the actual authors of the software. The libinput devs have unique domain knowledge here. They clearly thought about this default and if they concluded that tap to click does more harm than good then I'm 100% believing them as I have zero domain knowledge. With that in mind the libinput devs need convincing, not the neon devs.
