Turns out they do have a FAQ about this: https://www.qt.io/faq/#_Toc_3_12

That is because in the iOS app store, Apple is distributing the app. And they are not willing to obey the obligations of the (L)GPL regarding offering the recipients the source code they have the right so. So Apple has banned code with such licenses from the appstore.
