This is partly guessing, but:

* With xembed (and some SNI usage) system tray icons would be drawing the
context menu themeselves. A mix would look weird. (technically valid today, but
less so)

* Early Plasma themes were quite gaudy and therefore usage had to be
constrained to a more limited usecase (not so much the case today)

* We have a few occasions where QMenu's are created inside libPlasma code.
Porting this to be in a UI agnostic form would involve an API break (valid,
still).
