There are about 85 applications not available as release version. Compare
https://binary-factory.kde.org/search/?q=release_win64 with
https://community.kde.org/Windows/Releases/4.10.2

Also I do not think that the approach of single installers is a good idea to
provide the whole KDE experiences because of space requirements.

Release 4.10.2 provides 104 applications, where the base libraries requires
about 580MB and each app only a few MB. In the opposite a single app from
binary factory requires about 840 MB.

du -hs kmahjongg-master-13-windows-msvc2017_64-cl
843M    kmahjongg-master-13-windows-msvc2017_64-cl

Another app shows 

du -hs kmymoney-5.0-370-windows-msvc2017_64-cl
332M    kmymoney-5.0-370-windows-msvc2017_64-cl

Taking the mean value 580 MB per app would require about 60 GB to install all
104 apps, not counting the single update nightmare.
