The point is that a global installation of Qt on Mac makes little sense. A
global installation is by necessity maintained by the system itself, through
its package management. Maybe MacPorts or HomeBrew could do it, but those
often restrict themselves to /usr/local.
If there's no global installation of Qt and package management in that system,
then application developers are forced to bundle Qt with their applications.
The same applies to Windows.
