This is not related to parenthesises

This is. This rule is from 1960th: simple calculators don't have parenthesises on keyboard and don't support operator precedence. Complex ones do have parenthesises on keyboard and do support operator precedence. If you'll think few seconds you'll understood why (hint: stack). Windows calculator have support for both modes, KDE's one is more limited in this regard (but more advanced in some other regards) and supports just one (more sophisticated one), but that's Ok since it does not have mode without parenthesises as well. Some people can grumple about it, but none will be confused. gnome-calculator is just mostly useless...
