Are you seriously thinking that Qt is going to use scripts from some random 
github projects ?!?!?

Your statement is misleading! Can you use the "official" cmake to build an 
Android *PACKAGE*? (e.g. build the c/c++ bits for all android ABIs in one go, 
build the java, aidl, etc files, add resources and finally create & sign your 
APK? CMake is spawned by gradle (for each ABI) and is used *ONLY* to build the 
C++ files because people refused to port their cmake projects to gradle. This 
means that gradle is the *official* build system not cmake!
You either don't know how an Android package is built or if you know then 
you're intentionally lie people...

Same for iOS, Fuchsia and other OSs that you enumerate: Can you use cmake to 
build a *PACKAGE*?

Cheers,
BogDan.
