Good point.  I only just now saw & read the entire tooltip for WebEngine.  

I agree that it feels like user error, but it's too easy to make this error.  Also the cost is quite high, I only discovered the issue after a full Qt download & install & rebuild failed on my code.  That's half a day burned, considering I have to uninstall again and then reinstall msvc 2017 package (luckily I have that option, or I'd be more upset)...
