To add to this article, there are some bits in the Documentation part of
the change proposal.
Some information is already obsolete though because of fast pace of
development of SDDM.
To conclude, the main reasons are the CLA which is a participation blocker
for many people and better outlook on future maintenance (for us, used to
KDE codebase), as it's written in C++ and Qt, compared to C and Glib in
LightDM.

I thought I recall reading a plan about kde moving to lightdm at one
point?
Perhaps you could mention the reasons SSDM was decided over lightdm-qt?
Not up to date comparison -

Martin knows more about decision later, I can see Canonical's CLA and
future Wayland support as the main reasons.

This might be of area to other spins that use lightdm currently and
might wish to look at SSDM too.
Thanks,
