True, but KeePass (not sure if with or without XC) can also kind of act as a
backend. e.g. for Gnome, there is a gtk UI available that is based on KeePass.
Similarly, it might be possible to provide something that is based on KeePass,
but integrates better with KDE. Given that KeePassXC is already using Qt for
its UI, it might actually be easier than the Gnome part that is out there.
It would certainly help if KDE's password manager would use a file format that
is better exchangeable with other tools. Right now, if you're using kwallet,
you're more or less stuck with it (and thus with a broken tool) unless you're
willing to do a full manual migration to some other tool.
