Apart from the policy, the problem are maintainers willing it to do and to provide it by a third party repository. It's not that much work to provide it and all dependencies as separated packages, as long as you don't want e.g. security patches. IOW if you expect some quality, it's not just installing everything to /opt or providing it by something like snaps, you also need to maintain it, e.g. if there should be known vulnerabilities. What's completely missing by the kernel related explanation is, that upstrem provides, IOW maintains longterm linux, https://www.kernel.org/ . Does KDE upstream maintain KDE Plasma LTS?
