There is also the fact that the xembed specification had thumbnails hardcoded to a specific size (22px by 22px) which was making them look like crap on even my 1080p monitor, let alone 4k ones.
There's also the fact that there was no consistency amongst xembed apps, xembed apps could even change something like the cursor when you moused over them.
There's also the Wayland question-- theoretically you could do it via XWayland but the KDE developers explored that option and found it to be a "non trivial" amount of work and it didn't even always work consistently.
There are other reasons as well, but there's the highlights.
