According to the makeup designer for DSC, the idea was that while all the houses had lands on Qo'nos they did not all come from there originally (which is why they look so different from each other), so it follows that the different houses that make ships would have different shipyards orbiting different worlds making the ships. It makes sense in a way, though it still is rather inefficient in that the houses would not necessarily be able to supply the other house's forces easily with that lack of standardization.
I was talking about the previous shows and movies. They completely lacked this kind of nuance (which would make perfect sense for a culture like the klingon one though). While everybody was just slapfighting over the retcons and design-decisions made for DIS, they all failed to see that they kinda added some more layers to something that previously was absolutely uniform where it made less sense.
Which brings us back to the now way more healthy variety in STO's KDF-ship-roster.

Yeah, the level of uniformity in Klingon designs in previous series was more due to lack of production budget than in-universe reasons.
