That's why most of the fuss around KDE is over the Kwin component, not over KDE as a whole. Porting a simple KDE-based app to Mir or Wayland is no big deal once Qt and other underlying libraries have support, but porting a WM (or WM-like code such as a task-bar) requires lower-level code to actually know about all the windows that need managing. A toolkit generally doesn't help much with that.
