there are many other reasons but these are the ones that i can immediately think of.
Just wondering ... are they infested with systemd?
no.
dbus?
KDE has its own RPC mechanism called DCOP, which, famously, was hacked together in about 20 minutes. KDE 3 predates d-bus by quite some years so it was never integrated in.
pulseaudio?
again, KDE3 predates pulseaudio so it never had pulseaudio as a critical dependency.
basically for all the insidious fuck-ups that have been made (and by a funny coincidence *entirely* funded primarily by redhat), KDE3 side-steps absolutely all of them.
it is also not insignificant that KDE3 is primarily a *European* endeavour.
