It's a simple switch that needs to be toggled. In qt_module.prf:

!internal_module:!lib_bundle:if(unix|mingw) {
    CONFIG += create_pc

As you can see, they exist for macOS, except when we're building bundles. The 
problem there is teaching pkg-config about frameworks and bundles.

As for MSVC, the issue will be similar: teaching pkg-config about the MSVC 
linker syntax. Hint: there's no -l
