Yes only for tablets and chromebooks for now.

It uses Qtwidgets and mauikit qml so it would be a heck of a job to port that to qml

Why not publish it for phones too? Something to do with UI polishing (widget arrangement, responsiveness)?

I have a phablet (6+ inches, high resolution and DPI) with pressure-sensitive stylus and I'd love to see Krita running on it, even if the UI is not optimized yet.

Yes, the UI isn't exactly the best thing even for tablets, so we refrained from releasing it for phones. Though you could always side load it once we have it in fdroid.
