It's a bug from your distro.
Missing toolbar.

I thought KDE Neon was maintained by the KDE community? If it's not, where do I go to report this but?

Please first check if this is not an issue with a freshly created user account. By default, the exporter application should show a menubar.

I didn't realize this was significant until now, but I have the global menu bar widget in the panel at the top of my screen. In there I find menu items pertaining to PIM Exporter tool. For those that use the global menu widget, being greeted to a blank screen appears that the program isn't loading or that there are buttons one might expect that are missing.

I would encourage adding a few simple buttons on the main screen interface, the most obvious being "Import Kmail data" and "Export Kmail data", clicking either of those opening the appropriate import & export windows. I feel that would clear up any confusion users might have like me who have global menu enabled and don't see any buttons, icons or any elements in the window.
