KDE Connect is likely a special case; as it is a PC integration app, and a very feature-loaded one at that, it accesses a whole bunch of sensitive stuff like notifications, clipboard, direct file access, SMS functions, keyboard inputs and more.

More than any other non-root-accessing app, you do not want a trojanised version of KDE Connect on your phone.
