Sorry I do not know. For about 3 years now I’m only using openSUSE Tumbleweed.
You could use
qdbus6 org.kde.kded6 /kded org.kde.kded6.loadedModules
to check (probably the “6” needs to be replaced with “5” on Plasma5).
“In the early days” there was a section in “systemsettings” where one could en-disable the plasma-services. However in Tumbleweed I had to do
kcmshell6 kcm_kded
which gave me a GUI where I could switch the service off.
(Probably there is a kcmshell5 kcm_kded for Plasma5.)
Yes, specific to KDE Plasma 6. If Leap users are subscribed to KDE repos (for Plasma 6) they might also encounter this, however it really is a corner case and has no functional impact on the end user.
Yes shifted to Background Services these days. Also, searchable from the menu.

I agree that the user may not notice. But otoh, why should he bother about the “free space” on file systems (if that is what the feature does) even on those he may have no connection at all (e.g. because he hasn’t any access to it). That is typically something the system manager should observe.
I any case, thanks to all who tried explain more details bout this in KDE5.
