I don't think Qt really can... Feels like they're charging way too much, there's not much content and Qt itself is not exactly "hot stuff" right now. (Compared to, say, Apple as the % is same)

Qt is not targeting app developers.

They tried that a couple of years ago, only to find out most weren't willing to pay jumping into Xamarin, while their license was even cheaper vs the Xamarin one.

They now care about enterprise and specialized embedded markets.

They seem to be continuing to support Android and iOS. Their platform works great and they've continued to add features over the last year and in years prior.

It still doesn't match the mobile OS support that you can get with the competition.

For me it looks more like a nice to have than anything else.
