From my perspective they spread FUD about open source licensing. QT core is LGPL3. Many applications would be fine with using LGPL3 in commercial applications. Read QT's landing page on licensing, and fossa has a good block post on requirements.

I think this is the point. If you're making a real application you may pay for the licensing to avoid the uncertainty/risk.
