Pay for Qt or pay for developer time to maintain multiple versions of your UI. Your pick. Qt is probably cheaper in most cases.

My concern is that I don't trust Qt Company now to not change the rules on me later, or hike the price, etc. I would choose Qt for commercial solely because I already know it from building FLOSS apps. If I need to learn something else for FLOSS, I'm not going to stick with Qt. There's limited space in my brain for expertise and I want something that will meet all needs.
Qt is amazing and I love it, but an amazing thing I love but can't use/rely on isn't worth much.
CEF is geared toward native C++ and is probably more of a Qt alternative than Electron in that regard.
When I run command "ldd" on my Spotify GNU/Linux client binary, I see "libcef.so". And, I can see:
$ ls -l /usr/share/spotify/libcef.so
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 147980856 Sep 15 06:13 /usr/share/spotify/libcef.so
That's a big library!
