You could describe WPE as WebKitGTK but you bring your own GTK.

GTK is sometimes inappropriate for embedded devices that have a unique display stack. Using WPE brings in minimal dependencies and can render to anything you desire.

libwpe is just used for some basic code sharing between the two, GTK is not based on WPE.
