Wrong - The discussions so far on this topic with our Desktop Teams all show an interest of putting newer desktops ontop of this platform.
For everybody knowledge, I was successful in ensuring GNOME 3.14.x packages from GNOME:Factory (before 3.16 landed on Tumbledweed) could work on SLE12 sources a few weeks ago. Few changes were needed on SLE12 for this (I only required one Intel driver update, which was fixing a deadlock, trigger by GNOME > 3.10) and some changes in GNOME packages (mostly disabling Wayland when building on SLE12) which were integrated on GNOME:Factory.
I don't envision a lot of issues with GNOME 3.16, I'll try to rebuild it on top of SLE sources, to see which adaptions are needed (probably not much). And maybe, if I have some time, I might even try to do a spin of SLE sources on OBS with GNOME 3.16 on top of it, just to see how a new openSUSE Regular release could look like ;)
And I know that this hackweek project resulted in working KDE4 packages for SLE12 (the author will probably blog about it as time permits). https://hackweek.suse.com/12/projects/980 So putting modern desktops on top of SLE12 doesn't seem to be impossible.
