The problem with Qt is The Company. They have a tendency to cater to their exclusive needs and not bothering much with Linux. A bit like Mozilla. Yet they're claiming to be fully cross-platform. They pushed 6 with regressions.

Qt is undoubtedly interesting but really have steering issues.

Here is the thing, GNU/Linux desktop developers aren't those who pays their bills, so they cater to the OS vendors and OEMs that actually pay them.
And I fine with that. But then drop the multi-platform bullet point from the marketing brochure. It becomes a lie at some point.

Gtk pushes every minor version with regressions.

Qt looks quite good in comparison.

Well if you don't count missing modules as regression, sure ...
