First i wanna thank you for that amazing Desktop

i used to work on fedora kde ll the time but last month a i tested arch linux i found them seprating the packages like this

kdepim-core
kdepim-blogilo
kdepim-kontact
...
...

kde,ultimedia-core
kdemultimedia-kmix
kdemultimedia-juk

I think you will find that other distros also allow you to make a selection and only install what you need.

How packages are released is not up to the KDE release dudes. The KDE community itself only releases source packages. What the distributions make out of it is up to them.
One thing to keep in mind though are dependencies between certain apps. E.g. you can't run Dolphin without the KDElibs.

Yes.
