Why wouldn't they be?

The only one cmake says it found in Program Files is PostgreSQL:
-- [QtBase] Found PostgreSQL: C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/14/lib/libpq.lib 
(found version "14.5")

libpq is a C API, so it is ABI-compatible with MinGW.... provided it's the 
same CRT of course. This is a .lib, so it's impossible to know if it's a 
static library or a DLL import (because Windows is stupid this way and Visual 
Studio makes it even worse), and it's likely trying to link the plugin will 
fail, but the problem happened before that point, so it can't be the root 
cause.

That said, it's a good idea to install the mingw64-postgresql package instead 
and not depend on C:/Program Files.
