If an apps wants to use KNewStuff, we do not want to include tons of other
stuff like KIO and consequently the dependencies it has. For KF6, we are trying
to reduce the inter-framework dependencies. Using KIO for a very rare and in
lots of other cases broken feature is just not worth the headaches.
Such large dependencies also make the deployments of apps more heavy,
especially for Windows builds or AppImages.

If we were to say KNewStuff is part of Plasma I'd completely agree with you.
However it is a frameworks and used by various apps.
