Yeah I think it been a Mac feature since like 2018, but more newly adopted in KDE. But either way it’s just a helpful UX idea, and potentially aligns with someone’s behavior of just like moving the mouse fast to verify it’s still working
Windows, since 7 (2009ish), had a feature to hit CTRL which zeros in on the mouse to find it if you can’t find it. On my 3x 19" LCDs I had, it was handy to have that 3" circle close in on it.
macOS also has this feature under the name “Shake mouse pointer to locate”.

Apple added it in 2015.
It was on Linux longer. The focus follows the mouse was another that I would like to see native
I’m fairly sure that didn’t become a thing in KDE until 2024 or 25

Enable it under mouse settings, not automatic.
I’m vaguely sure this was already in MacOS when I got my Macbook in early 2010s.
KDE’s is different (and better) in that it seemingly has no cap on the size you can make the cursor. You can get your cursor bigger than your display.
