The example I was talking about was specifically regarding a Qt app built for iOS. An end customer cannot modify and/or relink the Qt libraries inside because Apple doesn't allow it through the App Store signing mechanisms.

I agree, Qt docs/marketing regarding licensing are a complete shit-show, and a solid reason why I don't recommend them anymore when I show up in a new organization. And I've been a Qt developer since the version 2 days. It's just too hard to negotiate and explain to management anymore, and the new lean towards a subscription model makes it even worse.
