Well, MLT is used by a number of video editors - Kdenlive, Openshot...
Whose fault is it that it's mostly Kdenlive developers who contribute?
Likewise frei0r is also mostly maintained by Kdenlive team, not the
other teams (OpenShot, PiTiVi etc.).

If you critically re-read what you just wrote you'll see that it boils
down to "Well, I believe they are wrong, but in fact I know nothing
about it, so let me just stick to my beliefs until I find some time to
check if they are actually true". You didn't really mean that, did
you? :)
Kdenlive uses KPart which _is_ KDE technology. In fact all effects
descriptions are written in XML based KPart markup. I know that,
because I wrote a couple of dozens of those descriptions. The project
is also planning to move to KDE Git repo and be even better integrated
into KDE. I'm afraid you will have to live with that :)
