Your impression appears to sum it up: Ubuntu is ahead on this front at the present time. Lack of touch support in KDE Plasma would make it uninteresting for 99% of mobile device users. Let's hope there will be more interest in the near future, as the hardware will undoubtedly continue to become smaller and more powerful. I am not about to abandon my desktop computer yet: I require a large monitor and a platform with the ability to run qemu and other full-scale applications that would certainly be tedious on present- day mobile devices.
