One of the major DBUS features is multicasting and asynchronous signals.
There were patches to add multicast to AF_UNIX sockets but the network maintainer was a major roadblock. He basically told the kdbus developers to !@ck off and use IP multicasting for it. And that he wouldn't merge kdbus no matter how well it's written.
