Let me answer with another question:
why with Kate and not with Ark or with Krusader or with Konqueror or any other 
potential KParts plugin user where Markdown viewing often is useful?

Bundling with Kate would be a rather random choice IMHO. And
a) make it challenging for packagers to split out an independent packager for 
the markdown kpart with all the files belonging to it
b) make it harder for anyone interested in hacking on it, as they would have 
to also care about the whole Kate repo and its complete build system, when 
they just want to improve the markdown viewer e.g. for Ark.

But not my call, after all I offer this to KDE community for adoption, sou 
your choice.

Cheers
Friedrich
