It isn't. It avoids functions being conditionally noexcept depending
on whether their contract
is checked.

I'm curious what you intend to do with a Qt-wide permission to put
noexcepts on functions that
have preconditions. It's not a performance benefit for things that
aren't invoked inside move operations.
