It is apparently because people from KDAB, that have more experience with Ubuntu Touch than with Mer, are helping with the effort.

This is in itself kinda funny, as even though they are basing they work on top of Ubuntu Touch, they are still kinda turning it back to Mer in places, like for example by using Wayland rather than Mir, which is used by the "normal" Ubuntu Touch images.
