Of course, but splitted packages are easier to use. What do we care
about ? users or packagers ? I prefer GNOME, but I know that KDE's
packaging in fedora is one thing that makes me use GNOME as well.
Having splitted packages would not make me use KDE, but it would be a
minus less for KDE.
Moreover, as an ambassador, I can tell that this way of packaging KDE is
really bad seen by the foss community. Chitlesh is from my pov
completely right.
