Ok, I'm convinced. I just purged "ark-trinity" and the "compress" submenu in konqueror is gone. I reinstalled it and it's there again.
On Devuan "konq-plugins-trinity" recommends "ark-trinity", so no hard dependecy. Is there a good reason for it not be a "depend" ?
I do not know details to why, but TDE aims to be modular and flexible. For a newbie or an avg user it might be even too much (especially compared to the newer and dumber Gnomes and KDEs approaches)
IMO these problems pop up if you do not install tde-trinity, which usually pulls more then you would need, but makes installation complete incl. all these details.
I personally prefer the flexibility as the desktop can be dedicated to one purpose and can be easily maintained (updated)

This particular case seems to create a high 'astonishment factor' because perhaps the plugin is installed, but not ark itself. An end-user would not necessarily distinguish between these packages. In my case, though, both appear to be installed, as I would expect because I installed via trinity-desktop-all (KonquerorPlugins6.png). Strangely, my package manager shows several packages that are still not installed. (KonquerorPlugins7.png).
If you look into detail these seem to be debuginfo and debugsource packages, which are correctly not pulled by default
