More importantly, why can't Thunderbird and Firefox just integrate with GNOME Keyring / KDE Wallet to retrieve the m...primary password without prompting the user on startup?

Because not everybody is using GNOME or KDE.

So what? A well-designed keychain implementation should be able to deal with a multitude of keychain providers - OS (KDE, Gnome, macOS, not sure about Android and iOS, gnupg smartcards).

Support of a feature doesn't mean reliance on a feature.

You can install and use Gnome/KDE apps on other desktops as well. It's just a bit dependency heavy.
