Topic Operator is not supported in KRaft mode currently. So the `KafkaTopic! resources are basically ignored. So this is expected behavior.

Do You have the plan to support Topic Operator in KRaft mode?

We would love to. But it is not completely trivial as KRaft does not offer some of the features which ZooKeeper was providing (such as watching for changes). That makes it quite complicated to implement it in KRaft mode. We are looking into it right now, but it remains to be seen if it is possible with some reasonable amount of effort or not.
