macOS 10.13 runs on all 64-bit Intel Macs. It's 10.14 that requires Haswell, 
which is today only 6½ years old. All macOS updates have been free for years. 
Why is anyone running anything older than 10.13? This is an honest question: 
what makes people not upgrade their Macs?

Per Hamish's information,  Qt 5.15 supports all 64-bit Intel Macs, which is 
what Qt has supported for years[*]. 6.0 will drop support for processors that, 
at the time of the launch, will be over 7 years old.

Note to self: make the macOS build be x86_64h by default.

[*] Apple hasn't supported 32-bit processors since 2014 and PPC since 2011.
