Because it's special.

So you can go into tests/ or examples/ and run make because there's a 
Makefile there already, even though these directories aren't built when 
you run make from the top of the tree.

In the 4.x days qmake didn't descend into tests/ and examples/ if you 
turned them off but that logic was changed for 5.x. It's not a big deal 
on Linux but clearly it's a little slow on Windows (not too surprising 
as qmake has to process every .pro file 3 times on that platform).

If it's really a problem, you can just remove the tests/ and examples/ 
directories or rename them so that qmake cannot find them.
