It's been there for a long time. 🙃 I think some distros come by default with maliit keyboard, you just need to enable it, or install then enable. Personally I am using corekeyboard, it's the only one with modifier keys (somehow neither gnome nor kde default ones even allow to modifiers).
@nesc I tested both but both are neiher full sized keyboards nor work wit input methods like fcitx or have issues with key combintion and stuff like that.
I tested 12 OSK for both GNOME and Plasma and this here was the only one that was actually able to replace a full size keyboard in all circumstances

Sadly it only works with GNOME :(
Osk situation is terrible in general, true, with wayland migration it became even worse. But for basics default keyboards for gnome and kde work.
KDE devs are working on this. It has become a priority of the "We care about your Input" goal.

We are currently working on implementing a new virtual keyboard called QVK that will built into Plasma:
This is great to hear. Maliit does work, but there is a lot of room for improvement.
