KDE is sometimes still synonymous with KDE Plasma, although the standard display manager for Plasma is now SDDM. So maybe they are talking about SDDM. Although I have a suspicion that this is nothing to do with SDDM and is instead a Plasma behavior.
The meaning of words are ultimately defined by how they are used. Like Hoover is a vacuum cleaner, even though originally it was a specific brand of vacuum cleaner.
The KDE organization can decide they want to call their desktop environment Lolita Doll. I will never call it that. It is and always were KDE.
For the organization to call itself KDE is stupid, because the DE in KDE stands for desktop Environment.
So the organization is calling itself a desktop environment, which IMO is moronic.

The display manager is separate from KDE/Plasma, and can easily be changed to something else.
KDE is not a DM it’s a DE.
KDE is an organisation, if we’re being pedantic
Historically KDE is a desktop environment.
