Full blown bash-completion is desperately needed. On fingerterm it is essential to have no need to know everything by heart + type it right in the first place.

When I apt-get install on my debian I can even bash-complete available install-candidates or modprobe yada... bash-completion for Jolla specific apps need to be done by Jolla not mer so this is a toghether issue.

To have bash-completion in the first place is maybe a mer/nemo thing.

Please make this optional... I like the BASH completion as it is.

bash-completion is a tool that needs to be installed... nothing bash comes shipped with hardcoded apart of what you refer to as the part you like - broken implementation makes it unusable - good implementation makes stops you from writing more than 3-4 letters of any additional input

No no no, bash-completion is the most annoying thing ever. Please do not make it install by default, at least.

you may provide guidance, neither does it work ootb nor does it work after sourcing it from /etc/profile.de/ and sourcing the /usr/share does crash completion for any directory

There are a few (actually, only 4) bash-completion scripts already installed in the device, e.g.

source /etc/bash_completion.d/git
git <TAB>
 pull, push, etc.

Obviously this is not a full solution and more packages may need to be edited to keep their bashcompletion scripts...

Unfortunately systemd-bash-completion.sh requires bash4 and pulseaudio-bash-completion.sh requires bash-completion package. git and dbus-bash-completion.sh works fine.
