This Sunday, Oct 20th at 18:00 (UTC), the KDE Goals champions will be answering your questions live. Post your questions here and I’ll make sure they’ll answer them.
how can we have relatively simpler touch gestures? mostly what I’m thinking about is long press for imitating a right click, but text selection with popup copy/paste/etc buttons would also be useful.
I would say it’s also inconvenient that we don’t have a good touch keyboard for wayland, but you probably know that.
maliit is hard to build, afaik not packaged for any distro, buggy and not customizable (or if it is, it is not documented anywhere else than the code), apparently there is no way to limit it’s width, which makes usage harder on tablet sized screens. it has also been abandoned by the devs.
squeekboard is not compatible with KDE wayland because of missing protocols.
onboard is X only.

Unfortunately that’s not something that can be done system wide, apps have to handle that themselves.
It’s packaged in every widely used distro.
I had a dell tablet a decade ago with windows 7 that was able to do it anywhere
That’s because Windows has a system provided toolkit that most apps use
