Only KDE calls it "meta". Everywhere else it's either "super" or "mod4". The left Alt is sometimes called "meta" or "mod1".
It's not just kde, for example the backronym for Emacs is "esc meta alt ctrl shift"
the discussion you entered was not about whether "meta" exists as a key, but rather, which key is "meta".
No, I was specifically responding to "only KDE calls it meta."
