The worst is that this mentality has infected the core X11 as well, also
breaking KDE's code that would carefully compute the correct DPI, if only
X11 would not go out of its way to lie to it about the physical screen size!
You could use the randr protocol to read the physical screen size,
DP-3-1 connected primary 1920x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 518mm x
324mm
Not sure what you think is hiding it, sounds like KDE is just broken.
