As long as nobody steps up and does something about the current situation, I 
guess you will have to live with it :-)

Konqueror and Dolphin are still using the same kpart, but the one which 
originates in the development of Dolphin. Why? Because nobody (too few 
people) took care of the file management part of Konqueror.
The intention of the developers was never to cripple Konqueror (why would they 
do that?), it was just bitrotting. As nobody stepped up and took over, the 
KDE team invited the Dolphin developers to join the main module as new file 
manager.
Some people still invest time into Konqueror as file manager, so I don't 
believe it will die. But as long as not more people step up and work on it, 
it may stay in a rather shabby state.
