Usability is just an personal opinion.

"Usability is just an personal opinion."
IMO it is an added value. Compare Ktorrent out of box and Transmission out of box. Ktorrent is scary for new user but powerful, yet most people will choose Transmission only because it is easier to use. To learn using it.

An added value for Ktorrent would be better UI out of box with the same amount of features.

An added value for KDE would be sane defaults with better technology than competition. So in my opinion usability is not just an personal opinion.

Not true. (Well, in practise it often is true, and that's the exact problem.)

This Season of Usability is for those with formal education in this field and that's where it's neither guesswork, nor personal opinion. You could've found out yourself by doing the minimum amount of research and thinking before replying.
