I don't know... if we made the splash screen use the same image as the login screen, it would become an extension of the login screen. Because otherwise, for a user that's using a third party wallpaper for the breeze sddm theme, you've got (1) one wallpaper for the sddm theme (2) another for the splash screen (3) and a potential third wallpaper that differs from (1) and (2) provided they didn't use the same wallpaper for the sddm theme and their desktop wallpaper (which is only further complicated by having multiple users on the same computer that aren't all bound to have/use the same wallpaper).
