We are not sure where you folks are getting your info, but it is dead wrong.
FreeBSD users will still be able to boot into Plasma with any other login manager that works on FreeBSD, including SDDM /which is upstream from Plasma anyway).
Linux users will just have one more option.
Plasma has no hard systemd dependencies.

That would be one of KDE Connects' main functions, yes. It makes sharing any kind of file (photos, videos, whatever) easy.
You can also share the content of your clipboard from your desktop to your phone and vice versa. So you would copy, say, a web address on your desktop, and you would be able to paste it into your web browser on your phone immediately.

Just in case you hadn't read the terrifying conditions you agree to when you sign up for a Microsoft Account, here are two of the more relevant paragraphs.
So, yeah... KDE Connect is still the better option.

Phone Link is Microsoft's late and closed source alternative to KDE Connect. It requires you sign in to a Microsoft Account for it to work.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/phone-link-requirements-and-setup-cd2a1ee7-75a7-66a6-9d4e-bf22e735f9e3
This means all the transactions between your phone and your PC are monitored and sucked up by Microsoft.

Are you sure? We have just checked User, Testing and Unstable and they all pass the verification process.

If you don't use Bing with Edge, Microsoft will tell you your computer needs repairing.

They are not wrong.
To mend your machine:
1. Ditch Windows
2. Install Plasma
3. Your computer is ready.
