I checked out Digikam recently because my camera didn't support PTP but instead a custom protocol and I wanted to copy pictures over (Dolphin had no support). Sadly, Digikam had to mess with the metadata of each picture and put its name inside. Which contribution has the program done other than download the picture from the camera? So I went to using an SD card reader instead.

Since this is an open source project, could you remove that part of the code?

You can configure what is added to the metadata in the settings.

It's a dubious default, though. Why muck with tags from originals when you don't have to?

Not really a default. When you start up Digikam for the first time a prompt asks if you would like information saved to the files or not. If you select no information is stored in a local Digikam DB.
