Yes, the Plasma Mobile solution is much more discoverable. I understand the wish to save a few pixels of the small screen by removing or narrowing the bottom bar, but I think gestures only is a really poor default because it is not discoverable. If you really want that, Plasma Mobile actually supports that too (since June 2022, about the same time Phosh introduced it too; just go to Settings, Shell, Navigation Panel: Gesture-only Mode), but it is a bad default for unsuspecting users. And in Phosh, they have not even completely eliminated the bottom bar, which is the whole point of gestures-only navigation. And Phosh does not even give you an option, they just force the default design on you, which is why I dislike UIs designed by GNOME developers.
