You forget that being in KEG instead of some of the "main" modules
requires extra maintainance work, like tagging, branching, tarball
creatin, synching the translations with the KDE releases, doing
separate release announcements and so. Some people would like to avoid
this extra work.
A solution would be to treat KEG as part of the standard KDE releases
and always include the latest tagged versions of those applications in
the releases. This would still require some synchronization with the
translation team and with the KDE release schedule, but at least it
saves the creation of the tarballs for each and every KEG app
maintainer who wants to follow the KDE release schedule and the problem
of not having those application included in the main KDE. And of course
packages will have an easier job to pick up the "correct" version of
KEG applications for one KDE release.
