KDE is not, Plasma is:

What's the difference? You mean a DE is available but not the base software?

Wasn't it something like, KDE was the distro and desktop name but now the desktop is Plasma?

The distro is KDE Neon

The desktop is KDE Plasma, or Plasma for short

Unless I'm missing something, Plasma is the KDE desktop, there isn't a separate desktop environment just called KDE... In fact, it's full name is KDE Plasma, it's just frequently shortened to either KDE or Plasma

KDE separated out into Plasma and the utilities and apps separately at KDE 5. Previously it was all one package, so there is a bit of a confusing distinction.
