Yes, this is intentional. Qt WebEngine in 5.12 only supports MSVC 2017, that was the case already for Qt 5.12.0.

Maybe, though getting a warning every time might be a bit too much, too. Also, I'm not sure how and whether such a warning can be implemented ...

At least the description of the Qt WebEngine module says

  On Windows, the module is only available under MSVC 2017
