It uses Qtwidgets and mauikit qml so it would be a heck of a job to port that to qml
Why not contribute a little every month to Krita so that it can hire more developers to work, if Krita has the budget of Photoshop, it would just blow it out of water.
PS: Right now there are 5 full time devs and 2 part time, :)
PS solves that by using Smart Objects, Krita by Transform Masks, GIMP? Nope
Aside from that, their code base is somewhat quirky, which would definitely increase the cost of porting
