Why does windows.kde.org claim KDE includes Konsole?

Interesting - I considered KDE on Windows mostly for Konsole (and
Yakuake) and haven't left the list in hope than some will say 'I've
ported konsole' . It would be great, to have KDE, Konsole on 'working
kernel' (Linux on my work laptop is FAR from ideal ;-(. I guess there
might be more people in my position, or even worse, when IT policy
allow them have only Windows on the computer.
