I think it depends on whether you are using Wayland or X11, and
whether libinput is being used. Some things, like disabling the
trackpad when a mouse is plugged in, requires a X11+libinput and a
custom libinput rule. It cannot be done on Wayland because Wayland
lacks the equivalent setting.

Double click speed is pretty common. I am surprised to see it is not
part of the Mouse Control Setting, but it is what it is... To change
it with X11+libinput, see
<https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/s3rxt7/any_way_to_adjust_the_doubletripleclick_delay/>.
I would be surprised to learn Wayland does not have an equivalent
setting.
