For years, KDE users had to use Virtual Machine Managers outside the KDE ecosystem, like GNOME Boxes. Now that's changing with a new native VMM in development for KDE.
That’s a valid concern; however, there is a clear benefit to making a full ecosystem. End consumers love it and stay with it, and this might contribute to increased adoption of Linux as a whole. At the same time, plenty of people don’t like ecosystems, myself included, and for us the choice is not going away.
KDE, in my eyes, is in the best shape it’s ever been, and they really can afford to spread development efforts. Besides, new applications bring new developers, which may contribute back to the core.
