I don't work for the Qt Company and I don't know their financials well, but my 
guess is that they are not swimming in money and profits. It costs money to do 
what they're doing now and it costs money to do other things that they aren't 
doing yet. (obviously)

More specifically, I don't think there's a financial interest. Do you really 
think that the Qt Company is going to make a lot more money if this plugin 
existed? Who would buy a commercial licence just because the CLion plugin 
exists?

No, the way I guess it works, when companies choose a commercial Qt licence, 
they don't care which IDEs their developers use.
