Good question. The problem with Kubuntu is that it usually has an extremely outdated desktop environment: Kubuntu 18.04 is running Plasma 5.12, which was released 16 months ago. Even with the Kubuntu backports PPA, only bug fixes are available for Plasma.

In contrast, KDE Neon gets updates to all KDE software straight after it's released. Neon is now running Plasma 5.16, which is just a couple of weeks old.
