Correct, especially since QPluginLoader (QFactoryLoader) needs to find and 
open the files to read the metadata stored inside. The RPATH won't help with 
that.

FYI
$ qtplugininfo /usr/lib64/qt5/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so 
IID "org.qt-project.Qt.QPA.QPlatformIntegrationFactoryInterface.5.3" Qt 5.12.0 
(release)
User Data: {
    "Keys": [
        "xcb"
    ]
}
