[BUG] Itch refuses to respect launch options (+other odd stuff) on linux

even with a .desktop file already present (the name doesn't change this behavior, "io.itch.itch.desktop", "io.itch.desktop", "itch.io.desktop", "itchio.desktop" and "itch.desktop") ~/.local/share/applications/io.itch.itch.desktop

what's even weirder is that symlinking/copying the .desktop file to ~/.config/autostart/ causes itch to delete the .desktop file after autostarting. when autostarting via KDE's settings menu, itch doesn't/can't remove the autostart. in addition to this frustrating behavior, "open itch as hidden on startup" does nothing regardless of how itch is started and, as far as i can tell since there's nothing about it any any itch app docs, there is no launch flag to pass that forces itch to launch silently.
