First of all, you're asking in the wrong place. This is upstream KDE
bugtracker, and KDE has no influence over what downstream does.

But answering your question: I doubt a newer Dolphin will ever hit the default
repos of Ubuntu 20.04, especially since it is an LTS release. This is a known
problem with Ubuntu: they take a bunch of software, and for whatever reason
freeze it at specific version, and stop to even take minor version updates. It
is a real problem, I've seen quite a few posts on askubuntu site, where
solution to people's problems was to just install a modern libinput on their
18.04 Ubuntu, because they were stumbling upon a bug fixed long ago, but 18.04
has a really ancient libinput.

In a sense, you're lucky here that there's at least a KDE PPA, so you can get
latest KDE on your Ubuntu somehow. There's no PPA for libinput, so those users
are out of luck.

You either live with it, or you use more upstream-friendly distro, like Fedora.
I don't think there's much else you can do.
