  This bit I have to strongly disagree with. Sure, KF5 is not at the same level of Qt, but it's far from not being used externally. Here's just three examples for a single niche framework (syntax highlighting) from the top of my head:
  
  - https://cullmann.io/posts/qt-creator-4-9-uses-ksyntaxhighlighting/ (QtCreator)
  - https://kate-editor.org/2018/10/21/mit-licensed-ksyntaxhighlighting-usage/ (AbsInt)
  - https://github.com/KDAB/GammaRay/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L540 (GammaRay)
  
  All three have resulted in useful upstream contributions btw.
