Drupal is a highly extensible CMS with a fairly powerful API, and the progress from Zengine made it easy to theme as well
Jake (for Joomla) and Drake (for Drupal) are plugins that allow a Cake application to be called from certain URIs within the CMS, but this has a much greater overhead and there are major stumbling blocks trying to integrate the seperate systems. On the other hand if the application was moved from Drupal to CakePHP then all the basic functionality would have to be planned and developed, since Cake is not a CMS. Since Drupal 5 the module API has been fairly robust, and if there is an application already running on Drupal there would have to be a good reason to move away from it.
