From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ah gotcha that makes sense thanks!
That being said I can imagine if KDE didn't have Kate or Konsole or any of that - there's plenty of text editors and Terminals that already exist out there.
GNOME users wouldn't be happy having to install KDE dependencies to use a KDE text editor which doesn't have a consistent look and feel on their desktop. Same applies for KDE users.
To this day I don't understand why we need so many terminal applications
