Though I understand the reasoning, I think this would be confusing. 
Qt Creator has definite impact on Qt code, w.r.t. parsing. I'm thinking of how many
releases it took QtC to support QML Enums. I think a more meaningful system would
be to version it with the Qt build version, with the Z (x.y.z) being the 
Qt Creator release with Qt version x.y. 

Examples: 
Qt Creator 5.15.4 (5th release based on Qt 5.15.2)
Qt Creator 6.0.1. (2nd release based on 6.0)

Compared to:
Qt Creator 7 in 2022,
Qt Creator 9 in 2023,
Qt Creator 13 in 2025,
Qt Creator 23 in 2030.
Qt Creator 33 in 2040.


Or maybe no one cares about the QtCreator Qt built-with version? And maybe I shouldn't care either? 
I just always wonder "What is an appropriate version of QtC to be using with Qt x.y?"
