You're making the wrong assumption that KControl Modules are KParts.
They currently are not, even though it might make sense for them to
be so.

KParts can be trusted, simply because they are installed on the user's
system, by someone with the appropriate rights to write in one of
KDE's prefixes ( $KDEDIRS ).
