Well, part of the reason may have been that at the time Skanlite was started, Kooka was unmaintained (and was already planned to be dropped from KDE4), had lots of outstanding bugs and had not been updated for some time. There was a lot that needed to be done to Kooka as it was then, so presumably Skanlite's developer decided that the way forward was to create a new application and library. That was his perogative, and there's nothing wrong with doing that.
