When the Tamron 18-270 came out with no K mount version in sight I was dissappointed and ended up getting the 18-135WR instead. Then Pentax brought their own version of the same design!
It won't happen in this case as Pentax have the DA 55-300 and seem content with it.

I was looking at that but I'm in work that day and there's no light by the time it reaches Frodsham or Warrington unfortunately.

If I want to focus on landscape then it's the FA*24 f2
Stop it down to f/8 as all three copies I've had were noticebly soft at the edge but the contrast is very good.

You'll have a very long wait I'm afraid. Tamron told me they won't be making lenses with K mount.
That's a real shame

As to why Sigma have a full frame lens with a K-mount - maybe simply because it is as easy to stick a K mount on the lens as any other, without having to re-engineer the thing for APS-C and they sell sufficient numbers of K-mount lenses to make it worth their while.
That's the same for the Tamron 70-300 USD, they've already got one for Sony, full frame, without VC. Just stick a K mount on it and a re-chip and Bob's your dads brother.
