This is news to me. When did that happen ?

Almost a decade ago, when QtWebEngine replaced QtWebkit as the recommended way to embedded HTML capability in Qt apps.
IIRC QtWebEngine was introduced in Qt 5.4 and QtWebKit was removed in 5.6.

(and it sucked, because suddenly a Qt application with a web view was several times larger)

QtWebEngine was part of Qt 5.4 released in 2014
