I understand that you're being facetious, but the reality is much darker than this historical trivia might suggest - the web platform is today largely controlled by one mega corp.

With a product using code from KDE it must be said.

Does it matter apart from warm fuzzy feelings? KDE doesn't have any influence on web platform anymore.

When talking about KDE's code quality it matters.

Two of three remaining relevant browser engine vendors (Apple and Google) base their browsers in that code base. They could have gone from scratch or used a different base, but they took KDE's. They wouldn't have if it was of bad quality and unmaintainable.

The context is how good their C++ code base was.

KHTML->Konqueror->WebKit->WebCore->Blink

Also WebKit -> Safari
