Can one even install testing in a convenient way? I'm pretty sure I couldn't do it using debootstrap, for example.
It all sounds like yet another cunning plan to second-guess the herd of users and make them do something they don't really want to, instead of making it easy for those who are interested to do something, and encouraging (rather than coercing) others to join them.
As for KDE being the most desirable desktop environment, that's quite a depressing statement on the topic, but not entirely unsurprising given my recent experiences from renewed exposure to KDE 4 (sorry, KDE Plasma), Trinity, GNOME and Unity.

It was a while ago when I last tried, and I did wonder whether I was mixing up experimental and testing in my mind as I try and recall the details now, but I can try again and see if there's any success.
People being able to try out testing would be one fewer reason to freeze unstable, I think.

It's possible that there was a bug in one of the packages that comprised testing at the particular time you installed it, and that may have prevented debootstrap from finishing. Such bugs are pretty rare though--they usually get noticed during the 10 day waiting period between packages entering unstable and transitioning to testing.
