What's something you think could be made easier or just fixed if implemented as a plugin in kde, gnome, or as a software for every other DE?

I don't think that there is any one issue that hurts the Linux desktop, I think it is more a matter of death by a thousand cuts.
I think for the Linux desktop to be (more) successful we need dedicated QA teams, with a direct connection to usability developers that constantly test and write automated tests for the whole integration on different hardware, and fix any issue as well.

Valve doesn't have much interest besides it working good enough, so we would need either china or EU to fund a group to do that for us

Yes, currently Valve is mostly interesting in a base system that just runs Steam and games, not a general Linux desktop. Commercial Linux distributions are more about servers and professional workstations.
We either need PC hardware manufacturers or public funding to push Linux desktop, since I don't think that normal users would pay directly for a Linux system.
PC hardware manufacturers however are more about selling the next device that constantly improving a system non-customers could also use for free, so I doubt they would commit to it fully, and instead use it for marketing.
So all that is left is public funding.
