Extended attributes are not KDE specific. KDE just utilize that feature while others just don't

Yes, but it looks like the xdg.user.tags and xdg.user.comments are KDE software specific, and not part of the official spec. Meaning other softwarw probably can't read and interact with those attributss in the same way.
