Qt made this pretty easy 10 years ago

Why pay a license fee when you can make a bloated and slow electron app instead?
Both Qt and Electron are LGPL.
From their website:

"Qt comes with Dual Licensing, which includes both commercial and open source options. To build a proprietary mobile application, you need the Commercial Qt license, within which Qt for Application Development is sufficient for pure mobile and desktop app development."

exactly! paying a licence takes away valuable money that could be better served by buying the shareholders a new yacht!
