Because that might be completely different on other machines. The prefix to the 
bin directory is a user choice on configuring, just as any other paths.

And besides, applicationFilePath() may fail on some systems.

In any case, qmake is not tool deployed by the user. No one will care if it 
gets patched on installation.
