No Qbs hasn't got visibility outside the Qt project and even inside there
are people, like me, who really learned about it a couple years ago and
then it was planned to be the Qt 6 build system.
With more visibility, documentation and examples in all those years, things
might different now.

Some people say Qt is not in the business of creating a build tool but it
was not in the business of creating an IDE but we have QtCreator, which is
an excellent IDE tailored to the needs of Qt developers.

In less than two years we went from the build system planned for Qt 6 to a
deprecated tool.
Spending those years improving CMake (documentation, IDE integration, ...)
would have been far better then.
