Why should they? There is no reason to couple the release
cycle of programs which are really independent from each
other. And this applies even more to kdoc. It would be
really weird to be forced to download a package of several
megabytes for getting kdoc, which is completely independent
from KDE. The package is even platform-independent!

BTW: The html generation is really something which belongs into
the package management. With the kdoc.rules files in kdelibs
and the qt2doc and makekdedoc programs it should be easy to
make a package kdelibs-doc.

A major item 'Development' at the top level would seem more
appropriate to me.
