The actual question is: why would they care where generated files are 
placed?

You can choose from this list of options:

1) Import the .pro file using the add-in and live with the (Visual 
Studio style) placement of generated files.

2) Use "qmake -tp vc" and hope that the VS project generator respects 
MOC_DIR etc as you wish.

3) Don't use qmake.
