Stellar (https://www.stellar.org/overview) isn't part of Keybase per se, they've just developed an integration - or better said, a wallet - for that system. To me Stellar's mission doesn't seem too far apart from Keybase's, I can understand why they see value in it for their users.

The Stellar airdrop to every Keybase user seemed to be tightly integrated with Keybase, more than you'd get with just a wallet integration.

AFAIK every user with a supported wallet received it, the airdrops started way before Keybase supported XLM. See earlier blog articles: https://www.stellar.org/blog/bitcoin-claim-lumens-2/ and https://www.stellar.org/blog/bringing-lumens-to-millions/

I am sure that's true, but as a Keybase user there was a lot of communication surrounding the drop directly from Keybase.
